Sage and Pastel look promising payroll packages for the small firm of
solicitors for which I work - 17 staff.

But Freeway looks extremely good value.

Anyone's experiences of any of the above would be most helpful.

Thanks

My experience is that Freeway is the best value for a small business and is
easy to use.

We use Freeway, and find it extremely easy, and certainly good value for money.

Freeway's good and well supported, Sage has the best support but is the
most expensive, never used Pastel, didn't like their accounts package..

Can I add one to the list? Tas Payroll cheap efficient and reasonably
supported..

Echo Tas Payroll - we use it for a bureau service and for client
installations - Dos only at present, but from TAS web site it appears
Windows version is imminent.

David

If you are using current TAS are you aware of a current bug in the
system?.

You know we had problems with the Director's NI calcs earlier on this
payroll year, and they issued a new file to correct the error, well it's
not fully corrected.

1) It's still not picking up Directors NI paid if it's less than £100
although as soon as the prior NI exceeds £100 it corrects itself.

2) If you input the NI as an opening balance on Directors it ignores
prior NI when calculating.

Care..

They tell me that windows is so close they are not correcting it..

Have a look at Access Payroll, try their web site on
www.access-accounts.com. Its windows, its user friendly its a whole lot
better than Sage.
