Accounting Integration is a way of linking Sage Payroll, and Sage Accounting. If you have access to both, you can set up the link and have all of your financial information from each pay run sent directly from Payroll. This saves time and reduces the potential for any inaccuracies in your data.
With the Sage Payroll Essentials plan, you get built-in HR tools from the Sage HR app to help manage employee records, track time off, run basic HR reports, and share documents electronically. Employees can also self-serve to access payslips and documents. For more advanced features like HR analytics, custom workflows, expenses, timesheets, and shift scheduling, you can upgrade anytime to our Standard or Premium plans.
Sage Payroll is trusted by South African businesses to simplify compliance and streamline pay runs. It’s built to stay up to date with the latest legislative requirements, helping you calculate PAYE, UIF, and SDL with confidence. You’ll save time with automated calculations, electronic submissions, and employee self-service for payslips and documents. Plus, Sage Payroll grows with your business — from essentials to more advanced people management through in-built Sage HR integration.
