As you know, after Sage’s June announcement of the retirement of Abra Suite, staying on Abra is no longer a choice.

What’s your plan?

You do have choices about what to do next. The logical one is to move your payroll to Sage HRMS, taking all your Abra settings and payroll history with you. Nothing is lost.

The last product update for Abra Suite is in September. To have what you’ll need for year-end reports, you must be off Abra by December 1. That’s not as far off as it seems.

And, if you’re an Abra Payroll only customer, you must act before 3/27 to take advantage of the promo.
