New to Cloud Payroll

Recently subscribed to Cloud Payroll and it is vastly different to the Sage 50 payroll I was expecting to see.  Can anyone tell me where I find

- my license number, normally in Help, About but there is no About under Help.

- how I set up a pay rate for each pay element

- how I select the nominal codes against each payment. I'm not linking to Sage 50 Accounts until 1 August so maybe it will become apparent then? however I would assume that the payment reports need this information in order to section the payment types / deductions?

- how I record holiday absence? It isn't a choice under absence and there isn't a setting for the company policy.

Maybe I have the wrong software and need to upgrade?

    Hello Ruth,

    Thanks for using Sage City, apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

    -You dont have a licence number I am afraid on SBC like you would on 50.

    -If you go to settings>payment and deductions you can set up your payment types. You dont set a fixed rate here though you would enter the rate when you process the payrun here is a link with the steps on how to do this.

    -There is no setting up of nominal codes in Payroll, if you used sage business cloud accounting it would automatically post the salary journal across to accounting if you are going to use 50 Accounts then SBC wont post across to this you would need to do a manual salary journal.

    -Holidays arent used an absence in SBC this is for statutory payments. You can set up a Holiday payment deduction though when processing the pay run,

    Kind Regards
