BambooHR Monthly Headcount & Payroll Report
Monthly summary of active employees, new hires, departures, and payroll forecast.
Nora pulls headcount data from BambooHR monthly and sends a report showing active count, turnover, new hires, and salary expense trend. Helps leadership forecast payroll and budget.
Payroll and headcount are core financial metrics, but tracking them requires manual export and spreadsheet work. This automation runs monthly and pulls employee data from BambooHR: active headcount, new hires, departures, planned departures (notice given), and salary expense trend. It calculates: total active count vs. prior month, new hire onboarding status (how many are within their first 30 days), turnover rate, and projected payroll for the next 30 days (useful for cash flow forecasting). For companies with variable hours or bonus structures, Nora can also pull forecast payroll including benefits and taxes. The report includes a headcount trend chart (growing, stable, or declining) and flags any anomalies (e.g., unexpected turnover spike). Sent to finance and leadership, it ensures everyone has aligned headcount and payroll expectations. Finance forecasts payroll from actual headcount and start dates rather than from a spreadsheet someone updated last quarter.
