A number of our part time employees work some Bank Holidays. If my settings has 'include Bank Holiday entitlement' ticked, will it affect their entitlement?

Hi, for a number of reasons I have employees inherited who are either on long term hold or who are just inactive. How do I deal with see employees in terms of deleting from my system? No p45's have been issued and some go back to prior payroll years.…
We've received an email and a message in Sage that the new update is available to install, but when we search for updates using Sage 50 Payroll it can't find any. Currently, we have version 20.02.203 running.
I fear it's a symptom of a deeper underlying…
I know that you are not supposed to issue P60s for leavers and that Sage 50 Payroll omits these employees when printing these forms. However, what happens when an employee has left in Month 12 with a leaving date of 31st March 2015? They will not be receiving…
I have a new payroll client who has one employee who commenced employment in August 2014 but the employer was unaware of the RTI rules. His employee was paid above the LEL but under the NI threshold so there are no deductions to report but he should have…
I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I've just had an email about the payroll year end update being mandatory from Monday. Does this mean I won't be able to get in my program without installing it? Why do they keep making them mandatory?
I think I am out of sync, please can someone tell me what week we should be paying this week.
I have just paid my staff for last weeks work (w/c 21/3/16), which on my (manual) P32 makes it week 52.
However, shouldn't this week be paid in 2015/16?…
In my experience of supporting payroll customers, week 53 is a bit of a strange phenomenon. Those people who have one, don’t want one, and some people who haven’t got one, actually want one “because my friend has one”!
The simple reason we even have…
I am not sure whether I sent the EPS at the beginning of the tax year 2015/16.
I have the box ticked for eligible for employment allowance and have claimed it during tax periods 1 & 2.
When I run the year end report (Employer Payment Summary) it give…
Does anyone know if this is possible?? I have had to upgrade to sage 50 as number of employees grown - but wanted to make life easier by importing data used in sage one payroll? Any ideas welcome
Most businesses and charities have been benefitting from the Government’s employment allowance for the past couple of years now. It was introduced in 2014 and has given businesses the opportunity to reduce their employer NI contributions by up to £2000…
I have just realised that I have submitted the final FPS for a client but forgot to submit an EPS for Month 12 to notify HMRC of SMP to be offset against the Month 12 PAYE payment. Do I need to wait until after 19th April 2016 and submit an EYU?
I have a client who is a director of a company and was being paid wages up to 30th September 2015 when he reached retirement age. He requested that his wages be put on hold until further notice so I have been submitting a monthly EPS to HMRC to advise…
I have a client whose AE pension contributions started on 1st April 2016 and I have noticed that the tax on the wages is being calculated after the pension contributions have been deducted. I am not sure that this is correct as it is not a salary sacrifice…
I am currently setting up a new payroll for a client who has two apprentices. I notice that there is now an "apprentices" box on the new employee wizard to tick. What effect does this have as I have some existing clients who employ apprentices but this…

Can anyone help me with the reporting module. I want to pull out an employee's first name only, but the only standard field is for all their forenames. I had a play with trying to write an expression to drop in the middle names, which worked until it…

I need to pay a director a different amount to usual for one month only. I know the rough net amount they need to receive how do I calculate the gross? Once I have the figure do I just enter a new pay element for them then revert back to usual salary…
