What is Sage HCM (Payroll)?

Sage HCM Payroll (formerly Criterion HCM) is a cloud-based payroll module built into Sage's unified HR platform, Sage HCM. It handles complex payroll scenarios including union workers, multi-entity and multi-location operations, and certified or prevailing-wage rates, while automating tax calculation, filing, and payments. The standalone consumer-facing Sage Payroll brand that once served small US businesses directly was sold to iSolved HCM in 2019, and Sage's current live US payroll product now operates under the Sage HCM brand.

The platform shares one cloud database across payroll, HR, and talent engagement modules, and supports mobile employee self-service for time entry and pay history on iOS and Android. It includes geo-coding for automatic tax jurisdiction handling, cost allocation to any general ledger or project account, and 50 plus standard and custom payroll reports. Sage states it serves 650 plus enterprise customers.
