## Reviews

### "EASY TO USE BUT LACKS FUNTIONALITY OF DESKTOP VERSION" — 5.0/5

> **JAMES** | *30 April 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: QUICK AND EASY TO PROCESS THE PAYROLL EACH WEEK OR MONTH
> 
> **Cons**: NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE HISTORICAL REPORTS SUMMERISING THE PAYROLL FIGURES IN ORDER TO PREPARE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS. FPS IS SUBMITTED BEFORE P45 CAN BE PRINTED SO LEAVERS HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED WITH RTI REPORT FOR THE NEXT PERIOD. NO LINK TO HMRC WEBSITE TO AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE TAX CODE CHANGES FOR EMPLOYEES
> 
> VERY QUICK AND EAY TO USE BUT LACKS THE FUNCTIONALLITY OF THE DESKTOP VERSION OF SAGE PAYROLL
