There's a wide range of reports available in your software, which you can use to report on everything from your employees' details, to your liability to HMRC.

Your software includes a wide range of reports to help you analyse your payroll. To make it easier to find the report you're looking for, we've created a handy Report Finder Tool.
Reports in Sage 50 Payroll are broken down into pre-update, post-update and historical reports >
When you select any of these three options, a window will open with a list of categories on the left. When you click a category, the reports appear in the large section of this window. From here you can select and run the report you'd like.
When you go into one of the reports options, the reports browser appears. From here you can print, email or export the reports to a file or Excel. You can also edit the reports in Report Designer.
If you regularly print the same reports each week or month, you can add them to your favourites.
To do this, click the star next to the report. You can then quickly print the report from the Favourites option on the main menu bar.
Around a third of the pre-update reports in your software use Custom report settings. This allows you to specify the payments and deductions the report displays.
