HR and payroll

HR, attendance and payroll with a maker-checker

From the thumb on the device to the amount in the bank, with a name against every step.

In short

Unnati holds the employee record, collects attendance from biometric devices, tracks leaves and shifts, and runs payroll for the month. Deductions such as PF, ESI and professional tax are computed at the current statutory rate. Disbursement uses a maker-checker: one person prepares the payroll and another approves it before any money moves.

How it works

From a thumb on the device to money in the account

Payroll goes wrong in the gap between attendance and the salary sheet. There is no gap here: the run below reads the attendance the device recorded, and two different people have to sign it off.

What happensThe employee master carries the CTC structure, PF and ESI applicability, and the branch.What it carries inSet once, with a history of every revision.
And all of this is already true
Attendance and salary cannot disagreeThe run reads the same punches the device wrote; there is no sheet in between.
Maker and checker are two peopleThe product refuses a release by the person who prepared the run.
PF, ESI, PT and TDS are computed, not estimatedPer employee, at the rates for the state and the slab.
The salary journal is already in the booksCost centre by cost centre, on the date the run was released.

  1. Attendance that arrives on its own

    Unnati talks to biometric devices using the iclock protocol, so punches reach the muster without anyone carrying a pen drive to the HR desk.

  2. A payroll run two people have to agree on

    Payroll is prepared by one person and released by another.

  3. Advances, expenses and documents that expire

    Salary advances are recorded against the employee and recovered in the months that follow, without an HR memory being the only record.

PF, ESI and professional tax

Statutory deductions are computed at the current statutory rate, which you configure and your consultant confirms. We do not hard-code rates that the government revises.

Questions

HRMS and Payroll: what buyers ask

No. Unnati computes the deductions at the current statutory rate and gives you the registers and records to work from, but the filings themselves are prepared outside the product. PF ECR, Form 16 and Form 24Q outputs are on the roadmap. Please confirm the treatment for your establishment with your payroll consultant.
