I recently started with this company and just started using Sage50C in August.  Currently, our payroll is being handled by a separate company - -they just send me the semi-monthly entries to upload into Sage.  I am considering bringing in this function in-house, so i know i'd have to unlock the payroll module and get another payroll add-on for direct deposit.  I can't say i'm familiar with payroll at all, I've had no experience managing/handling it.

My question is, is it difficult to set up the payroll module and to manage payroll given that I have zero experience in calculating any deductions, benefits, wcb, etc?

Is there a way to run the payroll module to test if its giving me the same entries as what is currently provided to me by the third party?

Any advice?

Thanks!
