Payroll for 100+ staff, from one spreadsheet

Adi’s crab turns one employee spreadsheet into print-ready payslips for a plantation company. Two layouts (a PDF per person, or two per page with cut lines), empty allowance rows hidden automatically, batched through 100+ staff. It even checked the law before adding a “valid without signature” note.

Source: an employee XLSX for PT. Tulas Sakti Jaya (Pasaman Barat). Out comes a stack of ready-to-print payslips:

  • V1: individual PDF payslips, one per employee (Deni, Herlima, Yodrial, Ade, Afriyanto)
  • V2: two slips per A4 page with dotted cut lines, “tinggal gunting” (just cut)
  • Clean output: zero-value rows hidden automatically (e.g. Tunj. BBM when empty)
  • Full detail: company header plus employee data (NIK, name, status, jabatan, pekerjaan, HK), income and deductions sections
  • Batch: 104 more employees queued from the same sheet
  • Verified, not assumed: ran a web search (36 tool calls) on whether an Indonesian payslip is valid without a signature before adding the note

Spreadsheet in, payroll out, with the legal fine print fact-checked first.
