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 ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Great Software for a Union Employer\!" — 5.0/5 > **Susan** | *4 March 2025* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I love about Sage Payroll is the easy of setup. We are a union company and Sage Payroll supports the processing of a union payroll. I highly recommend it for this reason alone. > > **Cons**: I guess my only complaint is that it is not a cloud based program and you cannot save files within this software. > > Honestly, Sage Payroll is the most user friendly payroll software if you are a union employer. I have tried other programs, but none support a union employer like Sage Payroll. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/190567/sage-payroll?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/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
