    Salary Projection Calculation

    Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
    For employees who were hired during 2020, forecast how much salary they are missing in their YTD salary number. Example: If they were hired 2/1/2020, they would have missed 2 pay periods, the partial adjustment would need to be 2* the current month salary.

    So far I have that part figured out. I simply calculate the number of pay periods are between the first pay period in 2020, in our case it is 1/9/2020 and their start date. The issue becomes, what if they were hired 1 week in to the pay period, say 1/16/2020 with the next payroll being 1/23/2020. This is where I can really use some suggestions on how to sharpen my formula. I am thinking that I need to get the percentage of the pay period they are hired in, but not sure how to put that into effect.

    Attached is what I have so far

    Many thanks!

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    On what date does the 2020 pay period start?
    Your worksheet has 12/22/201 as The last pay period in 2019.

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    12/23/2019 - 1/3/2020 is the what we are paid for in the first pay period on 1/9/2020
    Is that what you are asking?

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    You need to know how many pay periods missed once hired so you have to be able to work back to the first possible date that a 2020 hire would start being paid correct?

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    I believe that is what I have so far, its the issue of people being hired that are being paid for partial pay periods

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    I presume people are paid for the one week they worked in the two-week pay period?

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    You are correct.
    But from a forecasting perspective, in 2021, we want to project how much this person is worth for the full year. So if the person is short a week and we use that number as the basis for our calculation, the calculation is going to be incorrect.

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    There seems to be no column with the rate of pay?
    What does column F represent? It is titled Pay_Periods and then the data beneath are dates that don't seem to be in a pattern relating to rest of the document.

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    I am using the "MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2020 PAY" as the basis for the rate of pay

    I'm not sure I'm grasping your situation.
    See if the yellow areas are what you are looking for.

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    How are you using the calculation "Weeks Missed" and why is "Yearly" multiplying by 24?

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    calculation "Weeks Missed": # of days from 12/22/19 to Hire date divided by 7. This gives the # of weeks they weren't employed by your firm I believe (unless that should be from 12/31/19?
    You shared "MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2020 PAY" as the basis for the rate of pay"; I presumed two pay periods/month per year to calculate full year's pay.

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    You are correct in all of that, its just it does not look like you are referencing "Weeks Missed" in any salary calculations.
    Also, my mistake, I didn't say that we have 26 pay periods in our company. My apologies

    Also, thank you very much for all your input, this is very helpful!

    Correct; I just decided to calculate it "my way"; not that Weeks Missed couldn't have been used; I just wasn't sure it was right.
    You can adjust the 26 weeks part by changing the start date of the calculation if that somehow represents 26 weeks.

    Re: Salary Projection Calculation

    The "Weeks Missed" was very helpful, I think that is what I will use, or at least purpose.
    Thank you for your help on this!
