Why upgrade to Sage 50 Payroll 2010?

Quick Links
Quick links give you a new panel that’s always in clear view, allowing you to find and execute those less common tasks more easily – whether that’s recording sickness, maternity, paternity, adoption or printing historical reports, past payslips, or even P32 reports.

Improved entry for less common tasks
Whether you’re recording or calculating statutory sick pay or statutory maternity leave, the features within our quick links menu have been simplified to make it even easier for you to run your payroll quickly and efficiently.

Seamless Integration
Everything about Sage 50 Payroll 2010 has been specifically designed to work seamlessly alongside other software, such as Sage 50 HR 2010 and Excel for example, to allow your data to be transferred quickly and without hassle.

Employee List reordered
The employee list has been cleverly reordered and simplified so that the most important elements come first.

Pay elements simplified
Not only have we made it easier to add pay elements, but there are also increased decimal places to give you even greater flexibility when using fractions of money.

Previous payslips can be on accessed in seconds, so when an employee comes to you and needs printed copies or even if you just need to check them on screen, it’s now easier than ever to do so.

Foreign bank details can be recorded with ease in employee records, and you can even choose the type of employment for each of your employees.

New employees can be added without hassle, with a simplified screen that makes things easy when a new person joins your business.

E-submissions can be tracked by status and sender, so when you submit your PYE returns online (a mandatory requirement for businesses in April 2010) you can see their status and the name of the person who sent them.

Our SageCover services are always at your fingertips, with direct links from your payroll software... so you can choose whatever service you need without opening and closing new windows.

Company name field has been lengthened to make things more convenient

Please note: 45 days free technical support is not included on upgrades.
