HR resources
Templates and instructions for recurring HR work. Start with the guide, adapt the file to your workplace, and keep the completed version with your records.
Payroll and time records
Employee clock, payroll-period workbook, company benefits settings and separate statements. Desktop Excel is required for VBA buttons.
Before you open the files: Mac and Windows notes
Tested in Excel for Mac, not yet in Excel for Windows. If Windows blocks the macros, right-click the file, choose Properties, tick Unblock and click OK.
On a Mac, Excel asks for permission before it opens the other file, and closing a period opens a Save window (twice when you use the clock file): choose Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (.xlsm) and a new file name each time. The step-by-step guide in the download explains each window.

From the accepted offer to the ninety day check in, one owner and one status for every task. Use the checklist here, or download the Excel plan to keep dates and evidence.
