Sage 50 Payroll - Festive edition Support Bulletin

Join us for a festive payoll webinar

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes a flurry of tasks. Join our experts, where we share tips for your seasonal payroll. From paying bonuses to advancing pay, we can guide you through it all.

Employing seasonal staff

It's common for businesses to take on extra staff to help with the Christmas rush. Use our article on employing temporary staff to include them in your payroll.
Add a festive message to your payslips
To wish your staff a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, add a festive message to your payslips.
Processing pay in advance
You can process payroll early, if you're taking time off over Christmas and New Year.
Christmas bonuses
If you're rewarding your staff with a bonus payment this Christmas time, this can be subject to tax and national insurance (NI). Use our article to process a bonus payment.
Payroll and bank holidays
When you process a payroll, you need to submit a full payment submission (FPS) on or before the date you pay your employees. However, there may be occasions when you need to pay your employees at a different time and not on the agreed date. For example, paying your employees over bank holidays.
Set up and process holidays
The festive period's a popular time for people to take holidays. Use our Holiday Schemes article to record your employees' holidays.

From all of us at Sage

We wish everyone a fantastic holiday season and all the best for the New Year!
