How Sage can help you clients Typical questions to ask a client not using Sage (they may be using other payroll software or outsourced via a bureau) Does your current solution: Allow a 1 click assessment? Automatically identify employees eligible for postponement? Import opt ins/opt outs directly from the pension provider? Automatically process and track refunds when employees opt out? Tell you when letters need to be sent? Allow you to choose whether you print or e-mail your letters? Keep a comprehensive audit trail of correspondence attached a copy of each letter to the employee s record? Keep a comprehensive audit trail to fulfil TPR guidelines? Using Sage 50 Payroll and the Pensions Module we can say YES to all of the above 12
