New Home Page

The new Home Page is an easy way to keep informed on features, access support videos and webinars etc, ensuring you are always up to date.  In V30 the Home Page openings by default when you log into a company, but you can easily change view to process the wages, and if you prefer you can go into defaults and set the Employee list to be your default.

Sage 50 Payroll V30 includes the latest legislation for the new tax year.

Key Changes

  • Statutory Paternity Pay – deals with the changes to Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) and Statutory PP Adoption Pay (SPPA).
  • Statutory Maternity Pay – from the 24/25 tax year, in line with HMRC guidance, SMP can be processed when the gender is set o female or male in an employee record.
  • NHS pension scheme – changes to the NHS Pension tiers from April 2024.

P45 Values

When you enter a new employee’s P45 values you must only enter values for the tax year you are processing.

For the V30, the P45 year to date fields are not available when you should not enter them.  This occurs when the date left previous employment is not in the same tax year as your Process Date in Sage 50 Payroll.

Sage have added clickable links within the most common errors in PDX.  These links will take you straight to the relevant support guide for these errors, helping you to process the pensions quicker.
