Automated Excel Payroll Sheet Needed

I’m building a streamlined payroll workbook in Excel that handles everything in one place—from manual attendance entry right through to the final net-pay figure. The file must automatically calculate basic salary, overtime, incentives, standard and optional deductions (PF, ESI, TDS), then roll these up into clear per-employee and month-end summaries.

Key expectations
• Robust formulas or VBA (your call) that protect against common data-entry errors and flag them instantly.
• A clean, intuitive attendance tab designed for manual input; once entries are made, every other sheet should update without further touch-points.
• Consolidated reports that let me see totals, breakdowns and variances at a glance.

Deliverables
1. Finished Excel workbook with all automation in place
2. Short user guide explaining sheet flow, editable fields and any macros
3. Sample data pre-loaded so I can test the logic right away
