Add Employees as Vendors

SUGGESTED

Hi!

I am new to Sage 50 and am currently in the stage of clearing my bank transactions after having connected my bank account.  When I arrive at the transaction lines for paying employees can I make the employee a "vendor"?  We aren't currently using the Sage HR or Sage Payroll programs.  

Thanks,

M.

    Hi  ,

    Thanks for reaching out. It seems like you're looking to pay employees outside of a payroll service. While adding them as vendors is one option for non-payroll payments (like reimbursements), if you're processing payroll manually, you'll likely want to input a manual ledger transaction instead.

    Here’s a brief outline for that (see this article for additional details):

    1. Go to the General Journal under the Company module.
    2. Manually enter the payroll amounts, ensuring that you allocate the correct debits (like expenses) and credits (such as cash or bank) for each transaction.
    3. Be sure to follow the standard accounting entries for payroll, including deductions and taxes, if applicable.

    This method allows you to properly account for payroll without using the build in Payroll module or the cloud-based option of Sage Payroll & HR, while keeping your financials accurate.

    If this helps, please mark it as verified :)

    Warm regards,
