One of the most time-consuming and tedious tasks of running a business is payroll preparation. The Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Payroll module makes in-house payroll preparation easy, providing you with the ability to process it at a fraction of the cost and time a manual payroll system or outside service bureau might take. In addition, the reporting capability gives high-level business insights into employee deployment and costs, enhancing your ability to make the right business decisions.
Versatile Features and Ease of Use
Employing the familiar, easy-to-use Windows graphical format, the Payroll module applies earnings and deductions, automatically calculates employee and employer payroll taxes, and prints checks and vouchers complete with year-to-date earnings and tax information. All current Federal and state tax tables are included with the Payroll module, and city or local taxes can be easily entered. At the end of each quarter and year, the respective payroll reports and W-2 forms required by various tax authorities can be printed.
An important feature of the Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Payroll module is its ability to process earnings for more than one tax jurisdiction (state or local) for each employee per pay period, produce a single paycheck, and retain the information for later disclosure on quarterly reports and W-2 statements.
Extensive information is maintained for each employee, including date of birth, emergency contacts, review dates and comments, marital and tax status, year-to-date earnings and deductions, as well as vacation, sick days and other benefit accruals. And, of course, the Payroll module enjoys Sage’s award-winning customer and technical support.
