This course is aimed at those who need to process Payroll on a Sage 50 system. It will give you all of the information necessary to set up Sage 50 Payroll to suit your business, and to process day to day transactions including:

making payments, deducting PAYE and NI, processing attachments, student loans and statutory payments. It will also cover calculating how much you need to pay to HMRC each month, and submitting information to HMRC as and when required. This 2 Day course also covers calculating and recording holidays and pensions in detail, as well as further options including timesheet entry, nominal link to Sage Accounts, loans, statement of employment & personnel information.

Course Objectives

    • Process day to day Payroll, print payslips and other relevant payroll reports.
    • Process statutory payments including SSP, SMP & SPP

B.E. Nordem Ltd, Sage Payroll

Following this training what are you going to do differently I am going to be turning my spreadsheets into tables and naming them. I will also now be able to use the VLOOKUP function that I was previously struggling with. I am also definitely going to use the flash field function.
