This might be if a mistake needs correcting > > Excellent. Couldn't work without it. Allows payroll processing and calculation of NI and tax to be seamless ----- ### "Sage Payroll - Accurate & Easy" — 5.0/5 > **Keith** | *12 January 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, up to date tax tables, tracks taxable benefits > > **Cons**: This module is fairly expensive. It may not be appropriate for a company with less than 5 employees > > Once setup the module is very efficient and saves considerable time. The main advantage for us is being able to print T4 slips and payroll cheques with little effort ----- ### "Worst Service and Customer Service Ever" — 1.0/5 > **Hamidreza** | *23 May 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I did not use their accounting. My comments is specific to their Sage Payrill and Basic HR. I did not see any value in uisng that except wasting 1 months of precious time trying to resolve very basic issues with their technical support. > > **Cons**: No value or advantage of using such a middle-ware for Payroll. Not helpful customer service. They just refer you to their partners without trying to resolve the issue > > Extremely negative experience, worst customer service I've ever encountered. I was frustrated by the company’s lack of comprehensive services, relying instead on third-party partners that disrupted seamless payroll management. Key features like Direct Deposit failed to function, and my application remained unresolved for over a month. I expressed disbelief that in an era of major technological advancements—such as planned human missions to Mars—basic payroll processes could still be so inefficient and poorly handled. ----- ### "Sage Payroll - Effective and Useful" — 5.0/5 > **Ethan** | *6 March 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sage payroll is an amazing tool to create and manage a companies payroll. It is easy to use and has a variety of reports which are helpful for reference. > > **Cons**: My least favourite part about sage payroll is the formatting of reports when exported to excel, as they can become overwhelming. > > Overall my experience with sage payroll has been very positive and has always helped generate accurate reports and information. ----- ### "EASY TO USE BUT LACKS FUNTIONALITY OF DESKTOP VERSION" — 5.0/5 > **JAMES** | *30 April 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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 > > VERY QUICK AND EAY TO USE BUT LACKS THE FUNCTIONALLITY OF THE DESKTOP VERSION OF SAGE PAYROLL ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190567/sage-payroll?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190567/sage-payroll) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
