Hours_Worked (Number): Total hours logged that week (e.g., 40).
Overtime_Hours (Number): Hours exceeding 40/week, capped at 1.5x rate.

Gross_Pay (Currency): = Hourly_Rate * Hours_Worked + (Hourly_Rate * 1.5 * Overtime_Hours)

Taxes_Deducted (Currency): Auto-calculated at 20% of gross pay.

Net_Pay (Currency): = Gross_Pay - Taxes_Deducted

Budget_Allocated (Currency): Weekly budget assigned to campaign ($5,000).

Team_Members (Text): List of employees assigned to campaign (comma-separated).

Key Formulas

In Budget_Allocation: =SUMIFS(Weekly_Payroll_Calendar[Net_Pay], Weekly_Payroll_Calendar[Campaign_Assigned], Campaign_Name) — pulls total payroll cost per campaign.

In Marketing_Campaign_Log: ROI formula integrates both ad spend and associated payroll costs to reflect true profitability.

In Dashboards: A dynamic SUMIF sums weekly payroll by role to show labor distribution.

Conditional IF statements flag campaigns where Cost_Per_Conversion > Target CPA (e.g., $50) with a warning color.

Conditional Formatting Rules

If Net_Pay > $1,500 in Weekly_Payroll_Calendar → Light red background (high overtime risk).

If ROI (%) < 0 → Red font in Dashboard chart.

If Cost_Per_Conversion exceeds Target CPA by 20% → Yellow fill in Marketing_Campaign_Log.

If Hours_Worked > 50 → Bold text with red border (burnout alert).

Instructions for the User

Begin each week on Monday by updating dates in Weekly_Payroll_Calendar.

Enter hours worked by team members — use dropdowns for Roles and Campaign_Assigned to ensure consistency.

Paste Actual_Spend data from Google Ads/Meta directly into Marketing_Campaign_Log. Use “Paste Values Only” to avoid formula override.

Do NOT edit formulas in the Budget_Allocation or Dashboards sheets — they are locked for safety.

Use the Dashboard sheet weekly to review ROI trends and adjust budgets. If a campaign’s ROI drops below 100%, reassign staff or pause spend.

Print or email the Dashboard as a PDF each Friday before payroll processing.
