The nuts and bolts of processing your payroll

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 2011 can help make sure you meet your legal obligations to pay the appropriate minimum wage, by taking care of all the calculations.
Manage your payroll costs
Understand how changes to your payroll can affect your finances. Predict the impact of pay increases, bonuses or overtime plans with the salary forecast tool.
One payroll: many payment intervals
Sage 50 Payroll 2011 deals with weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly and monthly payment periods, making it easy for you to manage your multiple payment intervals.
Overtime, bonus and commission calculations at the touch of a button
Save yourself some time every pay run by automating extra payments for your employees, such as calculating double time, tax-free payments, percentage bonuses and extra pay.
By creating formulas for each of your rewards, which can be applied to any employee's base rate, you don't have to spend time manually calculating extra pay.
Take a break from complex holiday calculations
When you've got people that work varying hours or shifts, it can become complex working out holiday entitlement and managing multiple holiday schemes. With Sage 50 Payroll 2011 you can calculate average pay and the holiday payment due for staff working both regular and irregular hours.
Your payslips
There’s a wide choice of layouts for your payslips which can be printed on plain paper or Sage Stationery. And if you want to personalise them, you can by adding messages and logos. You can even send via email.
Save time with your in-year submissions
There’s no need for you to spend hours re-keying information from HMRC when you get your in-year submissions via the internet.
Amendments received from HMRC, such as tax code changes, can be applied directly to employee records, saving you time and effort. And as it is a secure mailbox you know only you and HMRC can access it.
Your e-submissions can also be tracked by status and sender, so when you submit your PAYE returns online (a mandatory requirement for businesses in April 2010) you can see their status and the name of the person who sent them.
Add new employees quickly and easily
Take the effort out of adding new employees by simply entering their personal details and copy information such as payment rates, pension and holiday schemes from another employee.
Security you can trust
Sage 50 Payroll 2011 allows you to be confident that you are storing and handling staff information securely. You even have the flexibility to restrict access to information contained with an employee record.
Managing your time
Keep track of all your day-to-day tasks with a clear calendar and reminders. See all your daily task reminders on one screen. Simply open for more details, dismiss or delete them to make sure everything’s crossed off your ‘to do’ list.
Never forget a deadline or due date
Automatic reminders prompt you when you need to take actions, for example when you’re due to submit returns to HMRC.
Create the right reports and stay compliant
Automatically collate the right data and produce your statutory reports, such as P11, P32 and P45, from within your Sage 50 Payroll 2011 software.
