Important Notice Sage Pastel Payroll releasing a legislative update

Posted By Nteboheleng William M. 3 months ago

Hey Community,

To ensure your payroll remains fully compliant, we’ll be releasing a legislative update focusing on all required Budget Speech updates.

When you have rolled over into the March period the system will advise you to do a legislative upgrade. This message will not stop you from processing your March payroll, this message merely advises you that you need to update to 2027 Update 1 to apply the new tax tables for the new tax year.

What to expect

Increased Retirement fund deduction limit.
Namibia tax changes.
MIBCO Calendar and contribution updates.

New Update: The installation is ready

You can download it from the Payroll Update

Thank you for your patience and understanding — we’ll keep you compliant and up to date.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for being part of the Sage Community.

Wow Sage, this is really messing us around. We have weekly wages to pay manually today for over 100 employees with min wage increases, and the 10th March is putting us under pressure for yet another week. This really isn't fair!

Hey Nikki Schwartz

We hear you, and we completely understand how much pressure you're under right now. Weekly wages for 100+ employees, minimum wage increases to apply, and a hard deadline staring you down.

That's a real business impact, and it's not okay that you're dealing with this today.

Our team is working hard to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

Your people need to be paid, and that's exactly what drives us.

Regards

William

Hi, you should be able to process the payroll still in March without doing a legislative release if you need to do this urgenlty. The system will use the 2025/26 tax tables. Once the new version is installed and a legislative release is done, the system will recalculate and adjust the amounts in the next payroll run.

Why does it take so long to run the 2027 legislative release on a file? It never used to take this long. We have to do this for a few clients and it's taking 45 minutes on average. Has anyone else experienced this?
