Payroll Executive Overview

The Payroll Executive Overview Dashboard provides a consolidated, executive-level view of payroll cost structure, workforce efficiency, benefit burden, and net pay distribution across the organization. It enables senior leadership to monitor year-over-year payroll trends, compensation efficiency, benefit exposure, and departmental payroll composition to support strategic financial and workforce planning.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)​

  • Salary Cost: Represents the total gross salary expenditure for the selected fiscal year-to-date period. Higher values indicate increased payroll burden on the organization, while lower values reflect tighter compensation cost control.
  • Avg. Cost per Employee: Measures the average salary cost allocated per active employee. Higher values indicate higher remuneration intensity or a more senior workforce structure, while lower values reflect leaner compensation profiles.
  • Overtime %: Represents overtime cost as a proportion of total payroll cost. Higher values indicate increased reliance on overtime labor and potential capacity strain, while lower values reflect stable staffing levels and controlled labor utilization.
  • Avg. Monthly Headcount: Represents the average number of active employees per month across the selected period. Higher values indicate workforce expansion and greater operational capacity, while lower values reflect contraction or restructuring.
  • Benefits & Contributions %: Represents employer benefit and statutory contribution costs as a percentage of total payroll. Higher values indicate increased benefit burden on payroll, while lower values reflect reduced employer contribution exposure.
  • Net Pay Share of Payroll Cost: Represents the proportion of total payroll cost that is paid directly as net remuneration to employees. Higher values indicate greater direct employee compensation share, while lower values reflect higher relative deduction and benefit loads.
