Creating Paystubs with Microsoft Excel

(Sheri Mankal) One excellent use of a spreadsheet is to create a paystub. For lower level students, you can create the spreadsheet template for them so they only have to enter the figures and for higher level students you could use the following instructions to have them create their own spreadsheet template in which they then enter the figures. If your students are novice computer users you could complete the entire spreadsheet including the figures and then just use the completed spreadsheet to discuss how to read a paystub.
