Features and Benefits of the Sage 100 Payroll Module

Updated Batch Processing

• You can process multiple payroll runs at the same time
• Each batch is assigned a specific pay cycle
• In Payroll Data Entry, different users can access the same batch simultaneously
• While running Payroll tasks ( such as Payroll Tax Calculation, Check Register/Update and Check Printing), you can access only one batch at a time
• Merging/renumbering of batches or transfering records from one batch to another is not permitted

Improved Security Features

• While accessing a department, users must now enter their login ID, instead of the user code
• If you are upgrading the department security, you must recreate the list of users for each of these departments
• You must have been granted access to all the departments if you want to access the following:
  • ACA Applicable Large Employer Report
  • Tax Profile Maintenance
  • Periodic Time Off Accrual
  • Period End Processing
  • Federal and State Tax Reporting
• You must have access to all the departments if you want to print the Employer Expense Summary and the Check Register.

Enhanced Screens

• Selection grids are made available on most report tasks
• Data entry grids are similar to the modules in 4x framework
• Calculator buttons are added to the dollar amount fields
• Calendar buttons are added to the date fields
• Hyperlinks have been added to related tasks, wherever applicable

Pay Cycles Revamped

• In this software, you now need to enter the Check Date on the Pay Cycle window. This date is used to figure out the payroll taxes. In case you want to change this date, you must rerun the Payroll Tax Calculation.
• A Period Starting Date field is added to the Pay Cycle window. When you specify a pay cycle and enter a period starting date, the software automatically calculates the ending date. However, you can change it, if required. On the other hand, if you have entered the period ending date without having entered the starting date, the same will be automatically calculated.
• You no longer need to pay a combination of pay cycles in a particular check run. For this, the Batch function should be used.

Easy Tax Functions

• With the helpful e-file option, in Sage 100 payroll, you can now compute and file your state and local tax forms (including W-2s, 1099s, and monthly and quarterly filings ) electronically.
• You can thus avoid late submissions and payments.
• You can modify local taxes and tax tables.
• If you want to track and plan employee benefits even more accurately, you can link this module with the Sage HRMS module.
