Reliable, affordable, professional payroll solutions.

Reviewed on 14/02/2024

Pros

Sage is easy to use and certainly a market-leader for business owners. The ability to quickly and accurately process payroll and provide a self-service function to employees is essential. As is compliance with HMRC. Sage cover all of the basics with a smart UI.

Cons

More could be done to support customers when first signing up, as payroll can be a daunting process at first - that being said, there are articles online to help - although maybe more video content and less jargon would be best suited.

Moreover, perhaps Sage should consider better discounts/offers/promotions/recognition of long-term users.

VERY QUICK AND EAY TO USE BUT LACKS THE FUNCTIONALLITY OF THE DESKTOP VERSION OF SAGE PAYROLL

Pros

QUICK AND EASY TO PROCESS THE PAYROLL EACH WEEK OR MONTH

Cons

NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE HISTORICAL REPORTS SUMMERISING THE PAYROLL FIGURES IN ORDER TO PREPARE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS. FPS IS SUBMITTED BEFORE P45 CAN BE PRINTED SO LEAVERS HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED WITH RTI REPORT FOR THE NEXT PERIOD. NO LINK TO HMRC WEBSITE TO AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE TAX CODE CHANGES FOR EMPLOYEES

Each time I ran payroll it seemed it took me ages to do so, not the payroll itself but getting the reports out to link them with other financial software.

Pros

You could bespoke a lot of features within Sage Payroll.

Cons

Overly detailed, outdated look, quite clunky.

Great system to use but the support aspect in SA is lacking management and we have to make use of a third party to assist with issues which costs us more money.

Pros

Reporting is great
Main menu with employee details is super helpful

Cons

The support in SA is lacking. The Consultants are not able to assist with queries or does not come back to one.
