What manufacturing payroll must do

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

Capture gate attendance, schedule rotating shifts, hold contract and permanent workforce together, pay overtime and shift differentials, and keep multi-state statutory clean with registers. 247HRM does all five from a single record.

Capture at the gate

Biometric, face and geo attendance marks workers at the factory gate and feeds straight into the payroll calculation.

Gate to payroll

Schedule shifts

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

3 shifts, every unit

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

Pay overtime and shifts

Attendance, approved overtime and shift differentials flow into payroll, so attendance-linked wages 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.

Biometric and face at the factory gate

Workers mark attendance at the gate with biometric, face recognition or geo-fencing, with no extra hardware to buy and no device lock-in. Marks are matched to the published shift, and late or absent workers are flagged to the supervisor in real time, feeding straight into payroll.

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, and shift differentials are set per pattern.

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.

Shift aware
Every mark is matched to the rostered shift, with late and absent flags.

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

Payroll 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 payroll on one record.

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

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

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 payroll 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.
How does factory-gate attendance feed payroll?
Workers mark attendance at the gate with biometric, face recognition or geo-fencing. Each mark is matched to the rostered shift and carried directly into full-cycle payroll, so attendance-linked wages, overtime and shift differentials are computed without re-keying.
How are overtime and shift differentials paid?
Approved overtime and shift differential rules are set per pattern and applied automatically from attendance, so workers are paid the right amount for extra hours and night or rotating shifts in the same payroll run.
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 it handle PF, ESI, PT and LWF with wage registers?
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

Manufacturing payroll terms, in plain language.

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

Muster roll
The manual register of worker attendance traditionally kept at a factory; 247HRM replaces it with biometric, face and geo 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.
Shift differential
Extra pay applied for working a night or rotating shift, set per pattern and computed automatically in payroll.
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.
