Two-track HR for teaching and non-teaching staff, academic-calendar-based leave management, faculty qualification and accreditation tracking, guest and visiting faculty management, multi-campus HR, and NATS apprenticeship support - from one platform.
A generic HR tool was not built for the specific workforce management challenges that education companies face. Here is what makes HR software for education different and why TankhaPay is built for it.
Teachers are given teaching allowances and are also given vacation according to academic calendar. They have a separate CTC compared to admin employees. Maintaining them both on the same payroll framework causes problems for both.
Teachers take leave during summer vacation, Diwali holidays, and winter break - not the standard 12 EL/SL structure. Most HR systems cannot map the academic calendar as a leave structure.
NAAC, NBA and UGC accreditation require maintenance of faculty qualification registers, such as PhD, NET, SET and subject-wise distribution. Keeping manual track of these causes losses in accreditation scores.
The guest lecturers have their lecture hours for each session, and they are paid for each lecture or session. These guest lecturers are not permanent employees, but they require record-keeping for attendance, payment, and taxes.
Most universities and schools with multiple campuses have individualized human resource management processes for each individual campus without any visibility as a collective.
Salary commission recommendations (like the 7th Pay Commission) are implemented with retrospective effect from a revision date. Computing arrears across all staff accurately is one of the most complex HR operations in education.
Education companies run several distinct workforce categories at once - each with a different pay structure and different HR treatment. TankhaPay handles all of them from one login.
Professors, lecturers, and teachers on academic pay structure with TA and academic-calendar leave.
Teaching TrackHourly or session-based guest faculty paid per lecture with correct tax and payment tracking.
Guest Faculty TrackOperations, accounts, and admin staff on a typical CTC with a regular leave structure.
Admin TrackLab assistants, technicians, and workshop supervisors with specialised allowances.
Technical GradeEngineering students on NATS scheme with stipend payment and government scheme reporting.
NATS Apprentice TrackPrincipal, Director, and Vice Chancellor levels with standard salaried CTC and governance support.
Leadership GradeCMMI Level 5 is held by fewer than 1% of Indian tech companies. It means the quality standard your education HR data is managed under is the same standard trusted by the Government of India.
There is no other competitor for Indian payroll software that has such accreditation. It gives you another level of assurance of the way your payroll will be managed.
TankhaPay has been built with specific education HR requirements in mind - the attendance, compliance, and workforce management challenges that generic tools miss.
We have managed Indian HR through every significant labour and tax law change since 1998. Labour Code 2025 changes are the latest in a 26-year track record.
Run it in-house when your team has capacity. Switch to managed HR outsourcing when you need it - on the same platform, no migration, no data loss.
From teaching staff to engineering apprentices, every educational HR requirement is handled by the system, not chased through a spreadsheet.
Separate HR tracks for academic and administrative staff with different pay structures, different leave policies, different allowances, and different performance frameworks, managed cleanly on the same platform.
The academic calendar is mapped as the leave structure, summer vacation, winter break, and term holidays are configured as school- or college-specific leave types that feed payslip computation correctly without manual adjustment.
Faculty qualification database - PhD, NET/SET clearance, subject specialisation, publications, and experience records - maintained per faculty member with accreditation-ready reporting for NAAC, NBA, and UGC inspections.
Guest and visiting faculty attendance is captured per lecture or per session. Payment is computed per lecture rate or per session rate with correct TDS treatment and Form 16A issuance at year-end.
NATS scheme management for engineering apprentices - stipend computation, NATS portal filing, attendance tracking, and competency assessment records maintained separately from regular employee payroll.
