Resolution

  • Ensure e@syFile is on the latest version
  • Ensure the Sage software is on Release 5.3a or higher when generating the payroll file imported into e@syFile
  • If you were on a previous version, you need to delete the payroll file in e@syFile and import a file generated on Release 5.3a or higher again
  • If both e@syFile and Sage software were on the correct version, and the import is successful, the issue is not related to the Sage software
  • As from 5.3a, all payroll files contain the code 3220 (which is N, unless the tax status is Temp/Part Time, Temporary (Director) or NonExecDirector(Temp)
  • As from Release 5.3a, all payroll files contain the code 3195 (which is N, unless the Voluntary Over Deduction is ticked on the Statutory tab on the Employee Information Screen)
  • In order to resolve this issue, we would recommend the following:
