From Schedule Clarity to Cash Confidence
You now have a roster that feeds a schedule, and a schedule that feeds gross pay. Lesson06 combines this work with tax withholding, cash-flow timing, and dashboards. Capture what you learned so your future self remembers the breakthroughs.
Key Takeaways
- Scheduling accuracy is payroll accuracy—no more separate whiteboards.
- SUMIFS, validation, and conditional formatting act like internal auditors.
- Hours & Gross is the bridge that lets Lesson06 plug in taxes, benefits, and cash forecasts.
