| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | Date | Planning date for shift assignment (e.g., 2024-05-13) |
| Shift Type | Text/Choice (Dropdown) | E.g., Morning, Afternoon, Night, Overtime |
| Role/Position | Text/Choice (Dropdown) | E.g., Warehouse Associate, Loader, Forklift Operator, Supervisor |
| Required Staff Count | Numerical (Integer) | Number of employees needed for this role and shift |
| Assigned Staff | Numerical (Integer) | Actual staff assigned; may be auto-filled from payroll data |
| Available Staff (Pool) | Numerical (Integer) | Current pool of available employees who can be scheduled |
| Unfilled Positions | Numerical (Formula Result) | Calculated as: Required Staff – Assigned Staff (if negative, display 0) |
2. Payroll Cost Forecast Sheet
This sheet aggregates the financial implications of the staffing plan, linking shift data to wage calculations and labor cost projections.
| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Month/Week Period | Date Range (Text or Date) | E.g., May 1–7, 2024 |

| Average Hourly Rate ($) | Numerical (Currency Format) | Daily rate per position from HR database |
| Total Shift Hours (Est.) | Numerical (Hours) | Sum of all assigned shifts for the role in the period |
| Regular Pay ($) | Numerical (Currency Format, Formula) | Hourly Rate × Total Shift Hours (if ≤40 hours/week) |
| Overtime Pay ($) | Numerical (Currency Format, Formula) | Hourly Rate × 1.5 × Overtime Hours (if >40 hours/week) |
| Total Payroll Cost ($) | Numerical (Currency Format, Formula) | Regular Pay + Overtime Pay |
| Budgeted Cost ($) | Numerical (Currency Format) | Planned budget for this role in the period |

-=IF(Total_Shift_Hours > 40, (Hourly_Rate * 1.5) * (Total_Shift_Hours - 40), 0)for Overtime Pay - In Dashboard:
-=AVERAGE(Sheet1!D:D)to calculate average scheduled staff
- Conditional formulas usingSUMIFS,COUNTIFS, andIFERRORfor clean data display
