The Payroll Worksheet contains the Instructions tab, Lookup Table, Payroll Recap, Allocation Worksheet, and the Sales Correction Worksheet. These documents provide a summary of hours and earnings for all team members in a service center.

The following explains the use for each tab of the Payroll Worksheet:

  • The Allocation Worksheet separates hourly technician compensation into the proper general ledger (GL) categories for the profit and loss statement (P and L).
  • The Sales Correction Worksheet provides detail for any sales commissions that were paid inaccurately on a previous payroll cycle creating the need for a correction.
