Payroll software for Indian manufacturing and factories
Manufacturing payroll is where the statutory rules bite hardest. Most of the floor sits under the ESI wage ceiling, overtime varies week to week, and a shift roster decides what half the workforce earns.

The deadlines do not move. The penalties compound.
When most of the floor is under the ESI ceiling, one late challan reaches every worker at once - and Section 14B damages climb to 25% once a default passes six months.

Where the shop floor breaks payroll
Overtime recalculated by hand
Rates differ by shift and by day, and one wrong multiplier moves the wage bill for the whole floor.
Overtime and arrears on the run
Shift rules and approvals feed the calculation, so the multiplier is applied consistently across every employee.
Almost everyone is ESI-eligible
With most of the floor under the wage ceiling, an ESI error is an error across hundreds of rows.
ESI at scale, checked every cycle
Contribution rows for everyone under the threshold, with the ESI return file generated ready to upload.
Attendance lives on a punch machine
Getting biometric data into payroll usually means an export, a spreadsheet and a manual match against the roster.
Your punch machines, connected
ZKTeco, ESSL and Hikvision devices sync through the biometric add-on, so attendance arrives without an export step.
