Sage has launched One Payroll, the first addition to its highly anticipated family of software as a service tools, offering small business owners a simple, secure, low cost way to manage their payroll. Designed to help entrepreneurs who have no specialist payroll knowledge or IT skills to effectively and efficiently run their payroll, the software automatically takes care of all legislative updates and calculates statutory payments and deductions, giving business owners confidence that their payroll is accurate and peace of mind that that they are always compliant.

Sage One Payroll has been created to help firms with 15 or less employees to pay staff quickly and accurately. It contains a number of features that save entrepreneurs valuable time, including:

• Automatic recording and updating of P11 records;

• Retrospective correction facility that means if a mistake has been made with pay earlier in the year it is easy to correct and ensures employees are compensated in the current pay run;

• Ability to export data for payroll year-end reports directly to HMRC website, eliminating the need to re-enter data.

Chris Stonehouse, Head of Sage Online, commented: “Working over Christmas can prove quite challenging if you hit a problem but have no one to turn to because the support team are tucking into turkey. That’s why Sage One Payroll comes with 24/7 telephone support 365 days a year, giving business owners access to an unrivalled infrastructure of payroll expertise and software support whenever they need it.”
