Eliminate payroll calculation errors. Automatically sync biometric staff attendance, compute salary structures, calculate PF/ESI and TDS deductions, and generate digital payslips in one click.
The Common Staff Payroll & HR Bottlenecks in Schools
Calculating teacher salaries across varying allowances, unpaid leave days, and statutory tax deductions is tedious and error-prone.
Days Spent Tallying Biometric Logs & Leaves
Accountants spend days at the end of each month manually cross-referencing biometric punch logs, late arrivals, and approved leave slips.
Complex PF, ESI & Statutory Tax Calculations
Manual calculations of Provident Fund (PF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), professional tax, and TDS lead to compliance audit risks.
Salary Disputes & Staff Frustration
Errors in calculating half-day leaves, proxy allowance bonuses, or advance deductions cause unnecessary friction with teaching faculty.
Tedious Paper Payslip Distribution
Printing, cutting, and handing out paper salary slips wastes office time and exposes confidential staff compensation details.
