> 
> **Pros**: The software is designed in a very logical fashion that makes the entire payroll process seamless and easy to work with.
> 
> **Cons**: I did not get along well with the direct connection to the accounting software, but that could well be the fact that it wasn't set up properly.

### "Sage 50cloud Payroll" — 4.0/5

> **Shelby** | *9 July 2023* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Sage system is certainly one of the more simple pay roll systems that I have used within my time in payroll processing. The layout is simple and not too over complicated as it can be with other systems. Everything is easy to find which greatly assists when you need to process payroll. I have also used Sage for raising and processing of purchase orders, again this feature is easy to use and easy to train out to other staff members.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be good to have an automatic approval flow system in process.
