Hi,

I use Sage Payroll, I find it ok to use.
There is a 1-10 users version, but be aware, if your staff change during the year, each leaver, is still counted in the total. So if you replace 2-3employees during the year, you will need to upgrade to the next version that handles more employees.

Good luck with it.

I have used Sage in the past but switched over to Collsoft around 3 years ago and find it great for small company

do exactly what sage does..ie. payslips , reports , P30s , p45s etc but a lot cheaper

costs €120 +VAT for this year

its the "Technical Support" & "Maintenance" that you pay for with Sage

You can download a free trial ..

I would certainly recommend it as simple and affordable

Hi,

I have used the Tech Support and maintenance and would say it is critical to have it. Is is worth the extra cost, and could save you money later on.

Good luck whatever option you pick

If you are going for Sage Quickpay with 9 employees you would be better of to go with the Quickpay plus as you would run out of employee numbers if you had two new starters as Quickpay 10 will only deal with 10 tax records in the tax year. You can download Quickpay 3 for free from Sage Website if you want to try it out.

The most important thing with any payroll is support, when you need it.
