What plant HR software must do

5 things a manufacturing HR system should do. We do all five.

Schedule shifts, capture gate attendance, hold contract and permanent workforce together, feed overtime into wages, and keep multi-state statutory clean. 247HRM does all five from a single record.

Schedule shifts

Rotating and night shifts are planned per unit, with patterns assigned to permanent and contract workers across plants.

3 shifts, every unit

Capture at the gate

Face, geo and biometric attendance marks workers at the factory gate with no new hardware to buy and no vendor lock-in.

0 hardware lock-in

Hold both workforces

Permanent staff and contract or temporary labour sit on one record, so headcount and wages are never tracked in two systems.

1 record for all staff

Feed overtime to wages

Attendance and approved overtime flow straight into payroll, so attendance-linked wages and OT are paid without re-keying.

0 re-entry to payroll

Keep statutory clean

PF, ESI, PT and LWF are computed across states with wage registers, so compliance keeps pace with a large, mixed workforce.

Rotating and night shifts, planned per unit

Build shift patterns for every plant and unit, then assign permanent and contract workers to rotations, weekly offs and night cycles. The roster carries straight into attendance, so what is scheduled is exactly what is checked at the gate.

Contract and permanent, on one record

Permanent employees, contract workers and temporary hands sit on a single employee record. Contract labour is grouped by vendor with its own attendance and wage rules, so headcount, compliance and pay never split across two systems.

One gate, every worker, no new hardware.

247HRM marks attendance at the factory gate with face recognition, geo-fencing or biometric capture, for permanent and contract workers alike. There is no proprietary device to buy and no vendor lock-in, and every mark feeds shift, overtime and wage calculations.

The cost of fragmented systems

The hidden cost of muster rolls and split registers.

When shifts sit in a spreadsheet, gate attendance in a standalone device, contract labour in a vendor file and statutory in another tool, the same worker is entered again and again. Overtime is missed and registers drift. Here is the difference 247HRM makes.

How it works

HR that lives where the workers actually are.

Three connections do the work: roster in, gate attendance in, wages and statutory out.

Manual muster rollGate to payroll

Roster and attendance, captured once.

The published shift roster and gate attendance feed a single payroll calculation. As part of Complete HRMS, the manufacturing setup shares one employee record, so headcount, overtime and wages never drift apart across plants.

  • Rostered shifts reused across attendance and payroll
  • Gate marks update headcount and overtime in real time
  • Wages recompute when attendance or OT changes

Contract labour, without the chasing.

Contract and temporary workers are grouped by vendor on the same record as permanent staff, each with its own attendance and wage rules. Supervisors mark and approve from the app, and contract labour compliance and registers stay in step with the rest of the plant.

  • Vendor-wise grouping with contract labour rules
  • One headcount across permanent and contract

Why Indian plant teams keep HR on one record.

Verified themes from teams running shifts, gate attendance and payroll on 247HRM.

★★★★★

Face attendance at the gate replaced the muster roll, and overtime stopped being a month-end argument. The hours just flow into wages now.

Contract labour used to sit in separate vendor files. Putting permanent and contract on one record gave us a real headcount and clean registers.

PF, ESI, PT and LWF across two states used to mean reconciling registers by hand. Now they come out of the same payroll run.

Questions, answered

Your manufacturing HR questions, answered.

Can 247HRM handle both permanent and contract workers on one system?
Yes. Permanent employees, contract workers and temporary labour sit on a single employee record. Contract labour is grouped by vendor with its own attendance and wage rules, so headcount, compliance and pay are never split across two systems.
Does gate attendance need special biometric hardware?
No. 247HRM captures attendance at the factory gate using face recognition, geo-fencing or biometric methods with no extra hardware to buy and no device lock-in. You are not tied to a single proprietary device vendor.
How are rotating and night shifts managed?
Shift patterns are built for each plant and unit, then assigned to permanent and contract workers, including rotating cycles, night shifts and weekly offs. The published roster carries into attendance, so what is scheduled is what is checked at the gate.
Does overtime flow into payroll automatically?
Yes. Attendance and approved overtime captured at the gate feed full-cycle payroll, so attendance-linked wages and overtime are paid without re-keying into a separate payroll tool.
Does it handle PF, ESI, PT and LWF across multiple states?
247HRM computes PF, ESI, PT and LWF across states and produces wage registers, Form 16 and Form 24Q, so a large mixed workforce across several plants stays compliant from one payroll run.
Can one setup cover multiple plants and units?
Yes. Plants and units roll up to one employee record, so cross-plant headcount, attendance and payroll stay whole. There is no need to reconcile separate per-site systems.
Where these answers come from

Statutory references used across the attendance, payroll and compliance modules:

  • Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act (PF) and Employees' State Insurance Act (ESI) contribution rules.
  • State Professional Tax (PT) and Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) schedules for the plant's states of operation.
  • Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act register and compliance requirements.
Note: rates and registers follow the current statutes for each state of operation.
Glossary

Plant HR and payroll terms, in plain language.

Quick reference for the terms used across the attendance, payroll and compliance modules for manufacturing.

Muster roll
The manual register of worker attendance traditionally kept at a factory; 247HRM replaces it with face, geo and biometric gate capture.
Contract labour
Workers engaged through a vendor or contractor rather than employed directly, with separate attendance and wage rules but held on the same record.
Rotating shift
A schedule where worker groups move through morning, evening and night slots in cycles, planned per unit in the roster.
Overtime (OT)
Hours worked beyond the rostered shift, captured at the gate and carried into attendance-linked wages for payment.
PF / ESI
Provident Fund and Employees' State Insurance, statutory contributions deducted and deposited for eligible workers each cycle.
PT / LWF
Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund, state-level statutory deductions that vary by state of operation.
Wage register
The statutory record of wages, deductions and contributions for the workforce, generated from the payroll run.
Geo-fencing
Marking attendance only inside a defined location boundary, used to ensure workers are physically at the plant or gate.

Watch shifts, gate attendance and payroll run on a real plant.

A product specialist sets up your shift patterns, gate capture and state profile, and walks your team through a full cycle, from roster to wage register.
