Description

In Sage 50 Payroll, you can import employee information, using Comma-Separated Value (CSV) files.

 NOTE: To import timesheet details you can use your software to create a template, using timesheet entry.

Resolution

When you create an import file to import data in to your software, we recommend you use our Excel templates. These templates include tips on what to include in each column. Compulsory fields show in blue and optional fields show in yellow.

To locate these templates: 

  1. In Sage 50 Payroll go to Help, then  About
  2. In the Program Details section, select the Program directory link.
  3. Double-click the CSV Templates folder.

 NOTE: If you use the Employee details import, double check your employee's tax code. Importing employee details causes the tax code to be blank
