Discover What's New in Recent Versions of Sage 100 Payroll
Beginning with the release of version 2018 for Sage 100, the Payroll module was re-written as a separate installation. This means that you don't need to upgrade the entire Sage system in order to take advantage of the payroll updates. So each year after you finish processing your W-2's for the previous year, you should contact us to install the new version of the Payroll module.
Below are links to the installation and upgrade guide for the last three version of the Payroll module. In addition, there is a link to the current Sage 100 Payroll Tax Update Guide. This guide describes payroll tax related updates for the Sage 100 Payroll module and covers changes to withholding tables, standard deductions, exemptions and wage base limits that have been made to the online payroll tax database.
