Sage DOWN: Pay could be DELAYED for millions as system crashes in ‘global outage’ – will you be affected?
BRITS’ next pay cheque could be delayed as a major payroll system has crashed.
Sage customers across the world have reported issues accessing their accounts on the system.
In a statement, the service said: “We have identified a global issue impacting a subset of customers trying to log in to access the service.”
They later added: “We are currently investigating.”
Sage – which is used by six million companies – is a cloud-based solution that helps businesses manage payroll processes, including calculating wages and taxes.
It also generates payslips and manages employee data.
Sage going down could mean paychecks are delayed for millions of people across the globe.
The service’s dashboard shows a “partial outage” across North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific.
Downdetector shows there’s been problems since 8am.

Almost 1,500 issues were reported with Nationwide’s services shortly after 5pm on Sunday, according to website Downdetector.
