Sage 100

Are there additional fees imposed by Sage for using the direct deposit feature in 2016?

**From 3-10-16 Partner Workshop:** **Sage U.S. Payroll subscriptions what's included** U.S. Payroll module, for customers new to payroll. Direct Deposit module, for customers new to payroll. U.S. Payroll support and maintenance. TTU, PUP, ACA, IRS Tax Forms (for supported versions). Direct deposit services including Sage passing the ACH file to the bank. Unlimited support resources (call, chat, and online) for payroll, EFT, or direct deposit file generation issues. Free Sage University Anytime Learning for payroll and direct deposit. **What's sold separately?** Aatrix W-2 and 1099 eFile services for Sage 100/100c and 300/300c. My Workforce Analyzer ACA compliance services for Sage 300/300c customers.

Thanks @BrettZimmerman for the information.

Check the details because I think you can use either the old method of DD or the Sage DD service. If you use the service I think you need to make an application and there may be some timelines by when you must submit your DD transmission that may require more of a lead time than if you are using the DD module.

Look closely at FAQ #11 --- I'm conflicted as to what it is trying to tell me. I read - Additional Fees? ----Maybe.

I think the question of fees was asked and Sage responded that there is no additional cost but because you are essentially processing through Sage if you incur NSF or any type of other banking fee then that passes through to you. I don't know if Sage marks up those fees but it wouldn't surprise me.

Sage told me today there were per transaction fees. They said to watch my inbox. *watching*

Is the paint dry yet @RhondaMcNamara ? Thanks for your response :)

Below are the anciliary fees for Sage 100 customers Return Item $10 each item Notification of Change $4 each occurrence Direct Deposit Reversal $35 each reversal Employer Funding NSF $100 per occurrence If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Per treasury@ sage.com Not charged for pre-notes or direct deposits (contrary to what support told me, but, he admitted he was technical help only)

My understanding matches with what @RhondaMcNamara posted - Sage charges typical bank fees but there's not a per employee fee for regular processing. I'll admit that I'm baffled what the Sage DD really brings to the table for our existing users who have been processing DD just fine for years. Actually, DD issues are not even on my radar so the Sage DD Service looks like a solution in search of a problem.
