Upload a dummy payslip to Sage HR Online Services

How to upload a dummy payslip in Sage 50 Payroll to Sage HR Online Services.

As well as viewing and uploading payslips from Sage 50 Payroll, you can also do the following:

• Create a new employee profile in Sage HR Online Services. This is automatically linked to an employee record in Sage 50 Payroll
• Link a manually added profile in Sage HR Online Services to an employee record in Sage 50 Payroll
• Update employee details in Sage HR Online Services amended in Sage 50 Payroll

However, if you can't wait til the next pay run to upload any payslips, you can upload a dummy payslip instead. This is a payslip populated with minimal value to allow you to upload a payslip. This then, for example, updates your employee's details in Sage HR, and you can then delete the dummy payslip from the employee's profile.

1. If the employee doesn't already exist in Sage 50 Payroll, Add the new employee using the Employee Wizard first.
2. Select Payroll, then click Change Process Date.
3. Set the process date to when the employees' first payment will be due.
4. On your employee list, select this employee then click Enter Payments.
