I'll explain the situation and can you let me know if this is possible.....
Employees are paid every four weeks. Two employees have arrived after the four weekly cycle (last Saturday) and will be paid this Saturday. Thereafter they will be paid on the same date as everyone else. Is this allowed in Sage or will Sage 50 Payroll go in the huff with me and not allow it. I don't want to put them in as this Saturday and then not be allowed to put them in three weeks time.
I just tried setting one of the current employees to weekly but it won't allow to process them for four weeks.
Should I just use weekly for these two new employees and then change to four weekly in three weeks time to get them in sync with the rest.
It shouldn't affect their tax as they will be on BR code.

Yes, I think Sage will have an issue if they're set up as 'four weekly' employees and there are two payment dates in the same tax month. If you take a back-up, you can play around with these employees (obviously without submitting any RTI reports) and confirm if (i) Sage does have a problem with this and (ii) whether setting them up as weekly and then switching to four weekly at a later date works.

I've been playing around with it for a while restoring, updating, checking then restoring - always fearful my evil brain takes over and does a FPS to catch me out.
I think I'll go with fortnightly paid so there's no National Insurance - will no doubt freak out the two employees when they see that on their payslip.
I expect more problems to crop up. After the next payment there will be a gap of about 9 or 10 weeks before they get paid again which will fall in the middle of the previous 4 weekly cycle and a new 4 weekly cycle is created. And Sage won't like that - or won't accept that.
