Using Sage 50 Payroll
If you’re using Sage 50 Payroll to manage your company payroll, quickly export your payroll data from Planday into a payroll report to import into Sage 50 Payroll. Also, import your payslips from Sage 50 Payroll so employees can access them from Planday.
Activate payroll export and payslip import for Sage 50 Payroll
Log into Planday and go to the integration page via Settings > Integrations > Overview.
Find Sage 50 Payroll and select Activate.
Add salary identifiers & codes to Planday
To ensure you have the correct payroll format to match your records in both systems, you need to add your salary identifiers and salary codes from Sage 50 Payroll to Planday.
Salary identifiers
To update each employee in Planday with their unique salary identifier from your integration, go to People > select and edit employee > Employee Details > Payroll > add Salary identifier.
Salary codes
Planday Salary codes must match your Sage Payroll Elements. Update Planday with Salary codes to allow Sage to identify which Element the payment will need to go through, by matching up the codes.
Salary codes can be attached to Employee groups (both default and individual), Salaries, Shift types, Payroll supplements, Manual supplements and adding 'general' salary codes to both salary and hourly pay.
First, enter the salary code for normal worked hours and monthly salary in Settings > Payroll > General > Salary codes.
If you want to apply salary codes for payroll supplements you need to create the payroll supplements and then add the salary code. Create the payroll supplements in Settings > Payroll > Payroll supplements. Create or edit the supplements to enter the specific salary code.
If you are using Planday to register alternate shift types you can also apply salary codes to that specific shift type. Go to Settings > Schedule > Shift types and edit the shift type you want to apply the salary code for.
Finally, if you want to separate the hours between different employee groups for the employees payroll, you can apply specific salary codes to different employee groups. Apply salary codes to employee groups in the top menu People > Employee groups > and edit the employee group to enter the salary code. The salary code for the employee group will then overwrite the salary code for normal worked hours.
