FYI, I had a call with Sage's Payroll consultant Alec today about my migration issues.
These are a few of the things I learned:
1. You can upgrade from 4.50.8 directly to new framework without doing a v2017 migration
2. The pre-migration report for missing employees is only a suggestion. You are not required to enter them in the prior version.
3. If on the migration they are not found, their history is ommitted.
4. You only need to go over the list and decide which employees you would like to migrate, based on the last date, and create those.
Don't you think the missing employee report should be sorted by last transaction date in descending order???? That would ease my upgrades inmensely.

I hadn't heard of it either. Appears to delete records that do do not have a number in the employee master. Interesting. Seems to be what you have been looking for all along.

I said that wrong, you can reuse the number, you just can't use the same number more than once.

If the number exists in another department, change the number being used. Cannot reuse numbers.

Renumber employees either in 4.5 or 2017. Has to be done before 2018. No duplicate employee numbers.
