Formulas Required
The template leverages a wide range of Excel formulas to maintain accuracy and automate critical calculations:- Overtime Rate:
=Hourly_Rate * 1.5 - Regular Pay:
=IF(Regular_Hours_Worked > 0, Regular_Hours_Worked * Hourly_Rate, 0) - Overtime Pay:
=IF(OT_Hours > 0, OT_Hours * Overtime_Rate, 0) - Gross Pay:
=Regular_Pay + Overtime_Pay - Federal Tax Withheld: Uses VLOOKUP with IRS tax tables based on gross pay and filing status (assumed Single).
- Total Deductions:
=SUM(Federal_Tax, State_Tax, SS, Medicare) - Net Pay:
=Gross_Pay - Total_Deductions - KPI: Turnover Risk Flag:
=IF(AND(Days_Employed<180, Attendance_Rate<0.85), "Yes", "")
(Uses a hidden helper column for employment duration.)
