The small but mighty act of listening
Prior to 2015 i could do my payroll manually and i had few problems – nothing that i couldn’t correct myself. i didn’t need to buy expensive software. now hmrc insist that i have to use SAGE or another software company. this has caused me endless problems, poor sage support and now costs me money to comply with a government ruling. great for sage, great for hmrc – not great for the employer.
this payroll software should be free of charge. rip-off.
I appreciate Michael Acton Smith’s thoughts. This is a great insight. I just am not sure how it relates to Sage 200 which is the cause of 87% of my stress and anxiety. No only has it not been updated for years, requests for help are willfully ignored. Can’t the spend energy on Sage rather than trying to educate us, please? Michael- i do wish you all the best.
