I have 3 employees who have since left our company but were entitled to Special Recognition Payment during the covid-19 pandemic.

My Sage payroll licence covers up to 25 employees.  I currently have 23 employees.  I had to 're-employ' 2 of the 3 leavers to enable me to pay them.  I have now marked these 2 employees as leavers but I cannot add the third employee to pay them as it says I have reached my limit.

How do I get round this?  I don't want to have to purchase extra on the licence as these payments are one off!

Thanks

Donna
