VLOOKUP / XLOOKUP: To pull employee data from the Master List.

IF, AND, OR statements: For conditional tax calculations based on filing status and pay level.
ROUND(): To ensure all monetary values are accurate to 2 decimal places.
DATEDIF(): Used in some payroll periods for calculating tenure (e.g., years of service).
INDEX/MATCH: For more robust data lookups than VLOOKUP.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

The template uses color coding to highlight critical data:

Overtime Hours: Highlight in red if >5 hours per week.
Negative Net Pay: Flag in bright yellow with bold red text if deductions exceed gross pay (error detection).
Past Payday: Auto-highlight dates in the "Payday" column that are overdue.
