# Payroll Calendar Tracker

**Folder:** Accounting / Payroll Manager / Task & Project Tracker

## What does it do?

Payroll is relentlessly deadline-driven: timesheet cutoffs, approval windows, run dates, tax deposits, and filings — miss one and there are penalties or unpaid employees.

This agent runs the calendar: it tracks every payroll deadline with lead-time reminders, manages the run checklist, and escalates anything at risk — so nothing is ever late.

## Benefits

- Every payroll deadline hit.
- Cutoffs, runs, and filings tracked.
- Lead-time reminders, no last-minute panic.
- Run checklist managed.
- Penalties and missed pay avoided.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — Calendar/Sheets and Slack/Gmail for reminders.
• Skill — a payroll-calendar skill with cutoff and filing logic.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("show the payroll calendar and what's due this week"). It returns deadlines, the run checklist, and at-risk items.
