Tax Liability Aggregate: =SUM(D2:D100)
Average Hourly Rate: =AVERAGE(Gross_Pay_Column / Hours_Worked_Column)

Input: Populate Pay_Date, Employee_ID, and Gross_Pay upon payroll finalization.
Verify: Ensure PAYG_Tax corresponds to current ATO tax brackets (refer to ATO Tax Table lookup sheet).
Validate: Check that Super_Guarantee matches the 11.5% statutory threshold.
Export: Use a VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP against the Employee_ID to populate the individual "Payslip Template" sheet.
Audit: Perform a monthly reconciliation against bank transaction logs to ensure Net_Pay equals actual disbursements.
Archive: Save as CSV/PDF at the end of each financial year for STP reporting compliance.
