If you want to import employee data from Sage HR into Sage 50 Payroll, then you can do so by generating a Payroll employee export report.

Some of the data on the export columns is collected directly from existing fields on the employee profile. You can see a full list below.

The export also has built-in functionality that automatically identifies custom fields by their names, and if a custom field's name matches one on this list, it will include the value in the export. You can find a list of custom fields you can set up for your employee exports below.

📌TIP: If you use the Core HR module, if you want to make the most out of your employee exports, make sure you have set up all the available custom fields supported by the export and that employees are up to date with their data.

📎NOTE: To ensure that fields are correctly identified by the export feature, it will not recognise fields that don't exactly match the expected name, please be careful with spaces and invisible characters.
