Sage 50 Payroll can do much more than just calculate the tax and national insurance due on your employees' pay.
To get the most out of Sage 50 Payroll there are several settings that make it even easier for you to use the software and get what you want from it.
Securing your software and data
We know that your payroll data is confidential and you don't want any unauthorised access. That's why Sage 50 Payroll has several security features, such as a software password, specific user passwords and different levels of access for each person who accesses the data. You can set access to specific groups of employees and software areas.
To ensure your software and data confidentiality, we recommend that setting up your security is one of the first tasks you do.
Your business, your payroll
Every business is different and the way you use your payroll software may differ too. Sage 50 Payroll has several settings that you can use to customise it to your business needs. You can change the order and look of your employee list, specify your company retirement age, or set up small employer's relief, and there are plenty of ways you can make Sage 50 Payroll your own.
