Combination of VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP

Find my schedule template example attached.

I was wondering how to combine VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP in single formula which i can use in order to make automatic changing of the background of the cells in column "B" so they will display green background if employee is at work today and to display red background if employee is NOT at work today.

when employee is at work it is marked with one of the following entries below the current date
7|12
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
19|12

when employee is NOT at work is marked with one of the following entries or the cell is left blank below the current date
UA
BT
SL
UL
RL
PL
CD
TR
N/A


P.S. it should look like status cell infront of each employee name and it will be green if he is at work today and it will be red if he is not.
