 NEW Sage
Payroll 2008!
The UK's favourite way to pay employees
The purpose of the new version upgrades is to speed up the entire payroll
process with time and labour saving features that will give users greater
capabilities.
New Features to 2008:
Give your people the information they need
By law, everyone must be provided with a Written Statement of Employment Particulars. Take the hassle out of recording the right information with Sage 50 Payroll 2008. When you add a new person their statement is created automatically and prompts will remind you to update contracts when necessary. You can print or email your contracts, scan and store them within your software, giving you a complete history.
Pay everyone at the right rate
No matter how you pay your employees, whether you use commission, bonus, piecework or a simple hourly rate, Sage 50 Payroll 2008 can help make sure you meet your legal obligations to pay the appropriate minimum wage, by taking care of all the calculations.
Electronic payslips
Provide a greener and speedier alternative to traditional printed forms by using electronic payslips. By using or adapting the ready-made email payslip templates all you’ll need to do is tick a box and Sage 50 Payroll 2008 will automatically generate and email them out.
Making the most of online banking
With Sage 50 Payroll 2008, we’ve included all the tools you need to use e-banking services as standard. So even if your bank charges you an additional fee for its online services, we don’t.
Because we know that by 2010 all businesses will have to make payments to HMRC online, it’s our way of helping you stay one step ahead by making the best of technology.
Easier to manage your payroll
When it comes to importing information into your payroll software, Sage 50 Payroll 2008 helps you keep control of every detail.
You’ll no longer have to enter different rates of pay for things like overtime, bonuses and commissions on separate lines. Ideal if you process payroll remotely or receive timesheets from a number of different departments.
Enter payments and deductions on the same screen, so things like social club membership subscriptions are easy to identify and account for.
Features to 2007:
- Factored Pay Elements that allow you to calculate payment rates based
on a formula.
- Holiday Entitlement - allows you to calculate holiday entitlement based
upon start date, hours worked and also length of service.
- Line 50 Accounts Integration - Improved Integration makes it easier and
quicker to update your accounts direct from Sage Payroll 2007.

codes, "look up" accounts or create them "on the fly" as well as analyse
funds.
- Bank Payments can be posted directly into Line 50 as well as sending
the posting reports straight to Excel.
