Automated Staff Roster & Payroll System in VBA
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
VBA Development Requirements for Staff Roster and Payment Sheet System
1. Project Overview
This project aims to develop a robust and automated Excel-based system for staff roster and payment sheet generation. The system must support multiple branches (unlimited), flexible scheduling, automated payslip generation, and long-term use without requiring monthly template recreation. The solution must be built entirely within Excel using VBA.
2. Core Functionalities
2.1 Template Structure
• A fixed template will be used for payment sheet generation.
• All future schedules and payment calculations will be based on this single template file.
• Template integrity must be maintained (no accidental deletion or overwriting).
3. Branch Selection
• On the Data Page, there should be a dropdown menu for selecting branch location.
• Branch list must be expandable (e.g., Seletar, Redhill, Paya Lebar, etc.).
• This selection should be used to populate payment sheets and reports.
4. Monthly Schedule Generation
• The system must allow automatic creation of monthly rosters on the same Excel file (e.g., October, November, December, etc.).
• There should be no limit on future months (indefinite roster generation).
• Each generated roster sheet must be automatically renamed to match the month name (e.g., “October”, “November”).
• The schedule view must always display weeks starting Monday and ending Sunday, regardless of which day the 1st of the month falls on.
* For staff on fixed schedule, input on the data page and it will automatically be generated on all monthly roster.
5. Printing Functionality
• Each monthly schedule should include a “Print to PDF” button beside the roster.
• Roster must be formatted for 1–2 page printing.
• PDF export should use the month name as the file name.
6. Staff Leave & Availability
• Ability to mark LEAVE, OFF, or ON COURSE in the calendar roster
• If a staff is marked OFF, their name should not appear in the roster for that day.
• Schedule to use 24-hour format.
7. Employment Types & Payment Rules
System must support multiple employment types:
1. Full-Time with Fixed Roster
o Any hours beyond fixed roster auto-calculated as OT.
o Weekend rates differ from weekday rates.
2. Part-Time with Fixed Roster
o Hourly paid salary with weekend and weekday rate differentiation.
3. Full-Time with Fixed Roster + OT Payment
4. Part-Time (Ad-hoc)
o Hourly paid salary.
5. Incentive column for Full-Time staff ( rates to be added in manually in data page)
8. Data Page Information
• The Data Page must include:
o Staff Name
o Employment Type
o Job Role (e.g., Clinic Executive, Admin, Nurse)
o Branch
o Bank Name
o Bank Account Number
o Payee Name
o PayNow
o Incentive (if applicable)
• Extra rows must be available for future staff additions.
9. Payslip Generation
• For each staff, the payslip must display:
o Name and Title
o Employment Type
o Month and Year of Payment
o Branch
o Bank Payment Details
o Date/day, time / rates for that particular day / total amount for the day and the month.
o Column for remarks.
• Tab color coding:
o Full Timer = Red
o Part Timer = Blue
10. Summary Page
• System must include an automated Summary Page with:
o Total Normal Hours (for Full-Time staff)
o Total OT Hours
o Weekday Pay
o Weekend Pay
o Incentives
o Total Payout per staff
o Subtotal of total staff expenses for that month
o Bank details for payroll processing
11. Overtime (OT) Rules
• Calendar must allow manual editing of OT before finalizing payslips.
• Any time logged before or after scheduled hours should be automatically calculated as OT.
o Example: If scheduled 09:00–15:00, anything before 09:00 or after 15:00 = OT.
12. Future-Proofing
• The Excel system must:
o Support indefinite month generation without version corruption.
o Allow new staff to be added easily.
o Be easy to maintain by admin users (no complex coding knowledge required).
13. Security & User Experience
• Lock key formulas and templates to prevent accidental edits.
• Allow only defined areas for data entry (e.g., schedules, OT edits).
• Buttons to automate:
o Roster generation
o Payslip generation
o Summary update
o Print to PDF
14. Technical Specifications
• Built entirely in Excel with VBA (no external add-ins).
• Compatible with the latest version of Microsoft Excel (Windows).
• All codes must be commented and documented for future edits.
• Clear naming conventions for all sheets, modules, and macros.
15. Deliverables
• Final Excel file with:
o Data Page
o Dynamic Roster Generator
o Payslip Generator
o Summary Page
o Print to PDF Function
• VBA source code with full documentation.
• User manual with basic operation instructions.
