Manage shift-based attendance across factory floors, handle contract and permanent workers on one system, track worker skills and certifications, and run compliant payroll for daily-wage and salaried employees from the same HR platform.
A generic HR tool was not built for the specific workforce management challenges that manufacturing companies face. Here is what makes HR software for manufacturing different and why TankhaPay is built for it.
Workers who work in factories, especially in shifts that change from day, evening to night, require attendance recorded and processed automatically.
Most manufacturers run a mix of permanent and contract labour. Different PF rates, different pay structures are managed cleanly on one system.
Certifications of machine operators, safety trainings, and first-aid certifications – their expiry dates recorded in Excel sheets – lead to audit failures and skill gaps on the shop floor.
Attrition rates ranging from 40% to 60% on average per year make sure of the continuous process of recruiting new workers and settling their PF.
State minimum wages change quarterly. Applying the wrong rate – even briefly – creates retrospective liability under the Minimum Wages Act.
Manufacturing clusters with more than one plant have different attendance, leave policies and payroll formats, which results in no visibility across the cluster.
Manufacturing 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.
Core factory floor staff on fixed CTC with shift allowances, PF and ESIC.
Permanent + Shift PayContractual employees through third parties on CLRA basis.
CLRA Contract TrackSalaried supervisors with performance components and team management responsibilities.
Supervisory GradeSkilled technicians for whom certifications need to be monitored along with tool allowance & overtime.
Technical GradeITI apprentices under NATS have stipend treatment separate from regular payroll.
Apprentice TrackEmployees of HR/Finance/Management are on a CTC basis, as are other factory floor employees.
Corporate GradeCMMI Level 5 is held by fewer than 1% of Indian tech companies. It means the quality standard your manufacturing 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 manufacturing 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 three-shift attendance at all plants, every manufacturing HR requirement is handled by the system, not chased through a spreadsheet.
Biometric integration for shift-based factory attendance - morning, evening, and night shifts tracked separately. Shift allowances, overtime, and night differential computed automatically from attendance data.
Separate HR tracks for permanent employees and contract labour under the CLRA framework. Different PF rates, different leave eligibility, different pay structures - on the same platform.
Skill matrix tracks each worker's qualifications, machine operator certifications, safety training, and compliance certificates. Automatic alerts before expiry prevent audit failures.
State-specific minimum wage rates applied automatically to every payroll cycle. When a state government revises rates, TankhaPay updates without manual intervention.
Centralised HR management across every manufacturing unit with uniform leave policies, consistent attendance standards, and group-level workforce analytics.
