Payroll is where an employer's informality is most exposed. A hospital near the medical college runs three shifts with night allowances and frequent duty swaps. A software firm at Cyberpark has variable pay, reimbursements and staff working from home in other districts. A food unit at Kinalur employs permanent staff, contract workers housed in the estate hostel and seasonal hands before festivals. In many of these, salary is still calculated on a spreadsheet by one trusted person over two anxious days.
ERPNext HR and payroll manages employee records, attendance, shifts, leave, expense claims, loans and advances, appraisals and recruitment. Salary structures calculate PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS, produce payslips and bank files, and post to the accounts automatically. Employees can view payslips and apply for leave from a phone.
Biometric machines, paper registers and supervisors' messages are combined by hand each month. We integrate biometric devices and define shift rules so that attendance, late marks and overtime flow into payroll without manual compilation.
PF, ESI and professional tax slabs applied manually invite errors that surface during inspections. Configured salary components calculate these consistently, and the monthly statutory reports come from the same payroll run.
Salary advances and staff loans are common and often poorly recorded. When they are entered in the system, recoveries deduct automatically each month and both employer and employee can see the balance, which removes a frequent source of disputes.

An example
It is the last working day of the month at a snack unit inside the Kinalur growth centre. Punches from the biometric machine at the gate have flowed into ERPNext all month, along with the supervisor's shift roster and the overtime approved before Onam. Migrant workers housed in the hostel on the estate are on a daily-wage structure, office staff on a monthly one, two drivers on a third. The HR clerk runs payroll and the salary register comes out with PF, ESI and professional tax already computed. A worker's advance from last month is recovered automatically and he can see the balance on his phone. The bank file is uploaded before lunch and the accountant finds the salary journal already posted. Nobody has spent two anxious days with a spreadsheet.
HR data is sensitive, so we agree access rules with management before anything else. The opening workshop and policy discussions are held at your premises in Kozhikode. Salary structures are configured in Kochi and tested against your last few months of actual payroll until the figures match. We are present, in person or on call, for the first live salary run.
Discovery. Your salary structures, attendance sources, shifts, leave rules and statutory deductions.
Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear plan, the deliverables and the timeline, agreed in writing before configuration starts.
Configuration. Employees, shifts, attendance, leave, salary structures, PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS.
Data migration. Employee records, salary structures and opening balances, moved and checked.
Training, go-live and support. Your team tests on real data, we stand beside you at launch, then support continues under a plan.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Healthcare and hospitals
Rotating shift rosters, night and on-call allowances, department-wise cost allocation, and credential and licence expiry tracking for nursing and technical staff.
IT/ITeS (Cyberpark)
Flexible salary structures with reimbursements, investment declarations for TDS, project-wise timesheets, leave policies by grade, and an onboarding checklist for each new joiner.
Food processing and bakery
Separate structures for permanent, contract and daily-wage workers, piece-rate or overtime additions, and seasonal hiring before Onam and Ramzan handled without rebuilding the payroll each time.
Yes. Each group can have its own salary structure, leave policy, shift pattern and holiday list. A Kozhikode hospital can treat doctors on retainers, nursing staff on shifts and administrative staff on regular hours quite differently within one system.
Most common biometric devices can be integrated so that punches are pulled in automatically. We check your specific model first. Where integration is not possible, attendance can be uploaded from the device's export file.
Yes. HR and payroll can run on their own, with a salary journal exported to Tally or another package each month. Several Calicut employers start this way and consider the wider system later.
After a first conversation about your headcount, locations, attendance sources and salary rules, we agree the scope and send you a written quotation. The price, the deliverables and the timeline are fixed against that scope before any work starts, so nothing grows without your sign-off.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about how many people you pay, how attendance is captured and how payroll is run today. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
