How is the price of different online packages determined?

The online system has many packages depending on size and thus we are able to offer various pricing options..from free(under 5 employees) to 3000 employees. In terms of keeping a database of employees(even those who may be currently not employed), it does make it so easy to re employ etc. The once off package size price and annual renewal is actually calculated according to the number of currently employed employees unless the terminated employees exceeds the package size. If the number of terminated employees exceeds the number of "employed" employees allowed for your version, then you will need to upgrade if you want to add more new "employed" employees. eg: An upgrade would still be needed even if the number of employed employees is below your current package version.eg If you have close to or more than 100 terminated employees on a package size allowing 100 employed-employees, this will mean that you will not be able to add more employees even if your current number of employed employees is below 100. If you would like to try avoid going to the next package size, then please go to your terminated employees and "re use" the oldest employees by using their employee numbers and changing their details accordingly. Basically if someone has been terminated before the current tax year began (ie before January of the current tear) then you may reuse their number for another employee so that you dont have to upgrade. To view ONLY Terminated Employees: On the edit employees use the top search box to select "Terminated" so that you see only those employees who are terminated after you click "Search" to reload the employees table. However if your terminated employees already exceed the package size, please email support and ask for some employees to be totally removed. An admin fee of USD 30 in Kwacha will be charged for this. Note: For the Enterprise package version, the annual renewal fee is worked out per employee record, according to the Enterprise price schedule. This includes both currently employed and terminated employees kept in your company database. The Enterprise renewal is subject to a minimum and maximum charge: * If your total employee records are fewer than 400, the renewal is calculated on 400 employees. * If your total employee records are between 400 and 740, the renewal is calculated on the actual number of employee records. * If your total employee records are more than 740, the renewal is capped at 740 employees. This means Enterprise clients are not charged endlessly as the employee database grows, but the renewal also reflects the larger support and database size of Enterprise companies. If you want to reduce the number of terminated employee records before renewal, please contact support. In some cases, old terminated employees can be removed or reused, depending on your payroll history requirements.
