We have been using Payroll premier for 20 years but wondering if Reckon Hosted is good enough for our payroll now and if so can we copy over the history data

    I have no problem with Reckon hosted for payroll and if you’re paying for 2 programs it’s certainly cheaper to just use one. I used Quick Payroll, then Elite Payroll for 20 years also, and whilst any new software is a bit of a learning curve it’s just as easy once you get there .

    Hi Stephen

    There are experts on this community who are excellent at exporting to excel and importing to another program, not sure if this is possible with payroll premier as I am not familiar with it, but if it has export to IIF you should be able to bring your lists, employees, payroll items etc.

    Search the community for 'export payroll premier to hosted" or similar or re: post as export title see if one of the experts responds.

    Hi Kevin,
    Can you tell me the differences between Payroll Premier and Payroll in Reckon Hosted. I have been using Payroll Premier for well over 10 years. From what I can gather the difference is mainly the timesheets (which I don't use) and the termination process. Am I correct? Now that we have to report for Jobkeeper, Payroll Premier won't give me that option but Reckon Hosted will. Just tossing up my options and figured it can't hurt to ask an expert.

    Wow Kevin, that is great response and exactly what i was thinking. The only thing I was worried about switching over was the Termination aspect for redundancy's and whole of income cap info. If Reckon Hosted is the same the I would switch for sure. What do you think?

    I would like to see Reckon Accounts Premier 2019 to adopt Payroll Premiers ability to pay in multiple weeks not just 1,2,4. We have issues at Christmas with staff taking 3 weeks leave.
