payroll

    i have a recruitment company in which i charge a set fee to find employees for locum work. the companies now want me to put them through a payroll system also. i want to keep costs low so i am thinking of getting sage payroll.

    has anyone used sage payroll, is it complicated?

    i understand i would have to pay gross wage + employers prsi + holiday pay - statutory deductions.
    how do you know how much employers prsi to pay as i understand this varies according to the amount of money the employee has earned.

    does sage payroll let you print out p45's and p60's.

    one thing i worry about in this situation is that i would become the employer (even if it is just odd days). how many days does someone have to work for you before you are open to have to pay maternity leave, redundancy etc?

    any help i could get on this would be much appreciated.

    google "agency workers rights" or similar - you will be the employer, with all that that implies.

    I think there are payroll systems simpler than SAGE.

    I have used collsoft and Thesuarus and both are very straight forward to use. Once you have all the relevant tax credit certificates (provides details of the employees weekly/monthly cut-off and tax credits) the software will automatically calculate the relevant PRSI rate/class for that employee. If the company is not registered for PAYE/PRSI with revenue you will have to do so and you will have to file monthly P30 returns (you can do this on ROS on line and is very straight forward, the payroll packages will inform you of the amount due for each period).

    There's a free one you can download and use on the following link: http://www.bms.ie/payroll/index.htm I used it briefly and found it fairly straight forward and easy to use

    I second Collsoft as a simple to use and cheap enough package. It also uses plain paper for payslips so no expensive payslips which other packages use. All packages will give you all the info on deducations, print reports, P45s, P60s, etc. do be aware if you become the employer of the employee rights regarding sick pay, hol time and pay, redundancy, maternity rights, etc.
