Recently released and currently available for download, Sage HRMS 2014 includes over 50 software improvements suggested through the customer feedback portal online. Let's take a look at what the newest version of this market-leading HR and payroll software has to offer.
Human Resources Enhancements
A new Benefit Savings Plan Group feature allows you to combine multiple plans in a single group so that Maximum Employer Contributions are calculated on a combination of all plans. This added control is great for employers that offer, for example, both pre-tax 401(k) and post-tax Roth 401(k) plans where the total employer match to both plans should not exceed a maximum designated value.
Improved Employee ID Management - Sage HRMS now supports a combination of both numeric and alphanumeric employee IDs without the system automatically restructuring the existing IDs in your database. You also get added flexibility when using the Add New Hire task.
Shared Secure Queries - when creating and using Secure Queries in Sage HRMS HR,Time Off, and Sage HRMS Train, a new Share Button (visible when the Access Type is set to Private) allows you to share secure private reports with the employees of your choice.

Payroll Enhancements
You now have the option to Customize the Process Payroll Map in Sage HRMS 2014 to add custom reports, websites, and executable files (.exe).
Sage HRMS 2014 also offers a new Automatic Tax Update option for Local/Other Tax code rates supplied from Sage to the Sage HRMS Payroll U.S. product. Each time you apply a quarterly tax update, the system will prompt you and automatically apply rate changes to the supported tax codes currently in your Sage HRMS Payroll program (note: you can click NO at the prompt and continue using your current method). You can also automatically push the new rates to the tax codes on each employee record.
Lastly when importing a timecard, Sage HRMS Payroll now includes the importing of Cost Center Overrides which will automatically update the G/L segments corresponding to each cost center override. This matches the way the system already handles information manually entered in timecards.
