	Sage Payroll Version 9 - more features to make life easier. In response to customers' requests and research into their needs we have developed Sage Payroll Version 9, bringing you significant new features and benefits, including:
	Saving time with Net-to-Gross calculations - Would you like a fast way to find out how much gross pay is required to pay a net wage, such as £250 a week? Sage Payroll now calculates the gross amount automatically, allowing for tax and National Insurance contributions. Say goodbye to the time and trouble of manual gross calculations.
	Faster calculation of gross amounts for fixed bonuses - Would it be an advantage to find out quickly the amount required to pay a set bonus of, say, £1000 for meeting a sales target? Now it's easy. Sage Payroll instantly works out the gross pay needed to give an employee a fixed after-tax bonus.
	Added flexibility with NEW Loans facility - Now it's easier to provide loans to employees, for example, to pay for a travel season ticket. This new feature enables you to manage a whole variety of short-term loans deductible from employee salary - for any number of loans, for any period or repayment rate - and allows for extra contributions from the employee.
	NEW Seven year Data Storage - Would it be a relief to be able to supply payroll information going back as long as it may be needed for a tax audit? The new Archive feature allows you to store data for up to seven years.
	NEW Historical Payslips - When employees require payslips, for example, to support a mortgage application, it's no problem to provide copies. This new feature enables you to provide copies of any historical payslips from the stored payroll data.
