Use the Payroll Entry window (access from the Tasks menu) to create paychecks to print for individual employees. All entries made here are posted both to general ledger and the employee record. This information for the selected employees is pulled from the employee records, the payroll formulas, and employee defaults.
Note: You must subscribe to a Sage Business Care plan to have access to payroll formulas and to have payroll taxes and other deductions calculated within Sage 50. If you don't subscribe, you will have to manually calculate and enter payroll taxes and other deductions on your paychecks.
Your payroll subscription limits the number of employees that you can pay per month. For example, you may be subscribed to a Sage Business Care plan that allows you to pay 50 employees per month. This means that during each calendar month you can pay up to 50 employees as many times as you want to.
You have received this error because paying this employee will exceed the limit. You can only pay an employee that has already been paid this month. Otherwise, you will need to upgrade your Sage Business Care plan or monthly subscription to allow you to pay more employees.
To see which employees have been paid this month, you can view the Payroll Check Register. To do this, go to the Employees & Payroll Navigation Center and click the Reports navigation aid. Double-click Payroll Check Register in the list of Payroll reports. You can filter this report by different dates by selecting Options.
To see if you are subscribed to a Sage Business Care plan, go to Help>About Sage 50 Accounting.
