Excel & data preparation
Start with approved data and check how each employee will see it.
A recognizable spreadsheet is only part of a reliable send. Check headers, employee identities, recipient addresses and the details visible in personal previews. Pay calculation and approval stay in the existing payroll process.
Begin with your current layout, isolate a small structural sample and compare different roles or same-name employees. If zero items must stay visible or internal columns must remain private, test that requirement in the current template rather than assuming a screenshot proves it.
Start with these explanations
- Can we use our existing Excel payroll spreadsheet? — Use your approved Excel payroll file, then verify employee fields and individual previews before sending.
- How should employee names and recipient addresses be matched? — Verify a reliable employee identifier together with the recipient address before sending individual pay details.
- How should we check columns and zero-value items on payslips? — Review employee-facing previews to confirm which pay items appear and which internal fields should stay private.
