I want a single Excel workbook that lets me keep daily time records and instantly turn them into clean, ready-to-run payroll figures. The file must serve two core functions: track hours worked and calculate the resulting pay in one place. Key elements I need built in: • A simple employee database sheet where I can add or import staff details (name, ID, pay rate, employment status and any other fields you feel are useful). • A payroll summary report that pulls from the timesheets and shows gross pay, taxes/deductions placeholders and net pay for each employee, plus a totals row for the entire pay period. Data will come in two ways. Team leads may type hours directly into the daily timesheet, but we also receive CSV exports from our time-clock system, so the workbook should accept an import (Power Query, macro button or another method you prefer) and map the incoming columns automatically. Although automatic overtime calculation wasn’t checked as mandatory, please structure the formulas so that adding overtime rules later will be straightforward rather than a rewrite. I’ll consider the project complete when: 1. All required sheets are clearly labeled, locked where appropriate and work without error. 2. Manual entry and at least one sample import both cascade through to an accurate payroll summary. 3. The file runs smoothly in current Microsoft 365 Excel without external add-ins. If you have questions on preferred layout or naming conventions, just let me know.

Hi, I can build a Microsoft 365 workbook with an employee table, manual timesheet, mapped CSV import and payroll summary that updates from the same underlying records. I would keep pay rules separate from the formulas, protect calculated cells and include reconciliation checks for missing employee IDs, duplicate entries and invalid hours. Taxes and deductions will be clearly labelled placeholders or client-supplied rules, not assumed statutory calculations. Overtime can be added later through a separate rule table. I propose a 10-hour initial cap, billed for actual agreed work. Please share an anonymised time-clock CSV, pay-period structure and whether your Excel is on Windows or Mac.

One workbook that takes daily hours in and pushes accurate, ready-to-run payroll numbers out is exactly the kind of end-to-end automation I like building. You need three things working together seamlessly: an employee database, flexible time entry (manual plus CSV import from your time-clock system), and a payroll summary that calculates gross pay, deductions, and net pay without breaking when new data comes in. With 5 years as a data analyst and 50+ similar automation and payroll-style builds completed, I'm comfortable structuring formulas so today's build stays clean and next year's overtime rules slot in without a rewrite. Want to open a chat and share a sample file so I can confirm scope and timeline?

I can build a single, reliable Excel payroll workbook where daily time records flow directly into accurate payroll calculations, whether hours are entered manually or imported from your time-clock CSV. The structure will be simple for team leads while keeping payroll logic transparent and easy to extend. I have gone through the requirements in detail. I’ll create clearly labeled Employee, Timesheet, Import, Payroll Calculation, and Payroll Summary sheets, with appropriate protection for calculation areas. The employee database will include IDs, rates, status, and other useful fields. I’ll configure Power Query or a simple import workflow to map sample CSV data automatically, while formulas will calculate gross pay, deduction placeholders, net pay, and pay-period totals. The calculation structure will also be ready for future overtime rules without requiring a redesign. I have uploaded samples similar to this project completed by me earlier in my profile. With 10+ years of experience, Chartered Accountant (ICAI) and CPA, I bring strong Excel, payroll, financial modelling, reporting, and automation expertise. I’ll test both manual entry and a sample CSV import end-to-end in Microsoft 365 before delivery. Please share the sample CSV and preferred payroll layout so I can structure the workbook accordingly.

Hi I'll build the workbook so manual timesheet entries and time-clock CSV imports feed the same payroll calculation flow, without creating two separate sets of formulas. I'd keep the raw CSV import untouched on its own sheet, map it into the working timesheet, and let you edit hours or employee rates where appropriate. The payroll summary will calculate gross pay, deduction/tax placeholders, net pay and period totals, with formula cells protected and input areas left editable. I'll also structure the hour and rate calculations so adding overtime rules later is straightforward rather than a rewrite. For acceptance, I'll test both a manual entry and a sample CSV import through to the final payroll figures in Microsoft 365 Excel without external add-ins. The first thing I'd need after award is one sample CSV export so I can match the import columns correctly. Thanks, Belal

Employee sheet with fields you mentioned and a simple import mapping using Power Query so CSV columns drop into the timesheet correctly. I'll build a daily timesheet sheet where leads can type hours and a payroll summary that pulls gross pay, placeholders for taxes/deductions, net pay, and a totals row for the period. Sheets will be named clearly and I'll lock formula cells while leaving entry areas editable.
