Piece-rate weavers, beedi rollers paid by the thousand, seasonal resort staff: payroll in Kannur is anything but a fixed monthly salary, and the software must cope.
Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including
Kannur has one of the most organised workforces in Kerala. Workers know their entitlements, unions are active, and cooperative societies exist precisely because labour here insisted on fair terms. That makes payroll a serious matter. Wages are frequently tied to output, such as metres woven or bundles rolled, with dearness allowance, bonus, PF, ESI and welfare fund contributions calculated on top. An error is noticed the same day and raised the next.
HR and payroll software on ERPNext handles both salaried and output-based pay. Attendance, leave, shifts, salary structures with any number of components, PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS, loans and advances, bonus and gratuity provisions are covered, with payslips available to employees on their phones. Payroll entries post to the accounts automatically, so wage cost per unit or department needs no separate working.
A clerk totals each weaver's production from daily slips, applies rates that vary by fabric, and adds allowances. It takes days and disputes are common. Production entries feeding straight into salary slips remove the retotalling and give each worker a statement they can check.
Resorts and homestays take on staff from October and release them after the summer. Rejoining workers, part-month pay, and PF and ESI for short tenures cause errors. Employee records that are paused and reactivated keep history intact and statutory filings correct.
Festival and emergency advances are a fact of working life here. When they are noted in a separate book, recoveries are missed or doubled. Loans and advances recorded in the system are deducted per schedule, and balances are visible to both sides.
Beedi and cooperative manufacturing
Output-based wages across many work centres consolidated into one payroll, welfare fund and bonus computations as per the society's rules, and member-worker records that serve both HR and the share register.
Handloom and powerloom textiles
Rate tables by fabric type and loom, production-linked earnings for weavers alongside monthly salaries for office and merchandising staff, overtime for shipment rushes, and department-wise labour cost per order.
Tourism (Theyyam, beaches)
Shift rosters for front office, kitchen and housekeeping, service charge distribution, seasonal contracts, and a simple mobile check-in for staff spread across properties along the Kannur coast.
Payroll moves only after a parallel run. We configure your salary structures and rates remotely, then run a pay cycle or two alongside your existing method and reconcile every difference with your accounts staff. Where unions or worker committees are involved, we help you present the new payslip format before it goes live. On-site sessions in Kannur cover HR staff training and, where useful, showing supervisors how to record production.

Yes. Production quantities recorded per worker are multiplied by the applicable rate and brought into the salary slip as an earning, alongside fixed components. Different rates by product, grade or machine are supported, as are minimum wage guarantees where they apply.
The system calculates employer and employee contributions each month and produces the data needed for the PF and ESI portals. Professional tax for Kerala local bodies and TDS on salaries are handled in the same run.
Payslips can be printed in bulk for distribution, sent as a PDF over WhatsApp, or viewed in the employee mobile app. Most organisations here use a mix, with print for older workers and the app for younger staff.
