    calculating deductions

    I need to calculate the total number of minutes an employee is late per day, and then add that total for a weekly one.

    I already have it setup so when i enter their in and out time it calculates how many hours they worked. I want to use the same in and out date ( i do not want to have to enter it again), enter the weekly schedule, and get the daily and then weekly totals.

    My schedules are made in excel, so i am thinking i can just copy it over, and then use some sort of formula to calculate the total number of minutes late?

    ----------------------------------

    Additionally i would like excel after calculating the weekly total pull from a time deduction table, and dock their hourly wage. ie. employee normally makes $5.00. employee was late a total of 30 min for the week. (time deduction table says to doc $0.50 an hour) so for that week the employee would only make $4.50 a week.

    I have looked around, and can't find too much on how to do something like that. Feedback would be really appreciated.

    Re: calculating tardies?

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!

    Maybe this will help.

    The late deductions are a negative number. they are docked that much an hour, against their hourly rate, for every hour in the week.

    in the attachment it says "late deductions". there are time increments and negative amounts of money they are docked for every hour of the week.

    basically if they are late x amount of minutes they are docked y amount every hour of the week.

    Re: calculating tardies?

    Sorry, English is not my first language. I've not come across the term "docked" in that kind of situation. What does "They are docked" mean?

    Also, looking at your file: could it be that the data in Column E is wrong? Column A is AM and column E is PM. That does not make sense, or does it?

    They are docked = meaning we take money out of their check

    column a is when they arrived to work. column be is when they left. column e is when they were suppose to arrive to work. column f is when they were suppose to leave

    Re: calculating tardies?

    So, in your sample data, they are supposed to arrive at 6 am but arrive at 6 pm, and then leave at 2 pm?

    I take it that the PM in column E are typos.

    If so, you can do this:
    in H7 and copy down

    =A7-E7

    Format H7 to H12 as general, so as to avoid confusion.

    In H13 =SUM(H7:H12)

    In A18 to A24
    0
    10
    15
    25
    30
    45
    60

    Then calculate the wage deduction with

    =VLOOKUP(MINUTE($H$13)+HOUR($H$13)*60,$A$18:$B$24,2,1)

    see attached.

    Re: calculating tardies?

    SUM(H7:H12) will not work because i do not want to include the time they arrive early in the total. I only want the time they arrive late.

    Also i am not understand what you are saying about the wage reduction

    Re: calculating tardies?

    please do not quote whole posts. it's just clutter.

    I guess what you call "docking" is what I call deduction. It's the value that you arrive at if you look at the number of tardy minutes in your table starting in row 17

    In my previously attached example, the total was 60 tardy minutes, so the Late Deductions will be as in row 24, which is "mim wage = 7.25"

    If you don't want to credit early arrival, then change the formula in H13 to

    =SUMIF(H7:H12,">0")

    cheers

    Re: calculating tardies?

    1 problem i am seeing. when they are more than an hour late, and we pay $7.25 i need that number transfer automatically to b3. but when they are late less than that and we deduct say $0.50 an hour i need the subtracted from b2 and then that figure placed in b3.

    By the way, thanks for the attempt at giving me reputiation, but unfortunately, you hit the wrong button and gave me negative rep. It can be fixed, though.
