Total Deductions: =SUM(F:G,H:H)

Total Monthly Payroll Cost: =SUM(I:I) (Sum of Net Pay column)

Data in the Gross Pay column turns red if exceeding $4,000 per month (for high-value payroll review).
Overtime Hours > 15: Highlighted in yellow to flag excessive overtime.
Net Pay values below $2,500 are shown in light orange for potential underpayment checks.
