For manufacturing
Shifts, overtime and statutory pay for the shop floor, without the spreadsheets
Plants run on rosters, punches and overtime. AdviHR keeps attendance, wages and the monthly PF and ESIC files on one set of records.
In short
AdviHR lets a manufacturing company roster shifts, take punches from biometric devices, pay approved overtime at twice the hourly rate, and run payroll with PF, ESIC, professional tax and bonus, producing the monthly files for the PF and ESIC portals.
From punch to pay
- 1
Set up shifts
Define shifts and assign them to people, with a default shift for everyone else.
- 2
Capture punches
Biometric devices push punches to AdviHR, so late marks and absences come from real attendance.
- 3
Approve overtime
Hours beyond the shift build an overtime account that a manager approves each month.
- 4
Run payroll
Approved overtime is paid at twice the hourly rate with PF, ESIC, professional tax and TDS.

What a plant needs, in one system
Questions to ask any HR system for a factory
- Can it pay overtime at the right rate and need a manager’s approval first?
- Does attendance come from your biometric devices, or must someone type it in?
- Does PF follow the wage ceiling in force for each month, including the September 2026 change?
- Are the PF and ESIC files ready to upload, and has the vendor said what has been checked against the portals?
- Can you keep a register of contractors and their licences?
Frequently asked questions
How is overtime paid in AdviHR?
Approved overtime is paid at twice the hourly rate, worked out as monthly basic divided by the month’s working days and the shift hours per day (eight hours if the person has no shift).
Does it work with my biometric devices?
If the device or its gateway can send punches to a secure web address, yes. AdviHR gives each device its own token. It does not ship vendor-specific connectors.
Does it handle PF and ESIC returns?
It generates the ECR file for PF and the monthly contribution file for ESIC from payroll. They follow the published formats; neither has yet been accepted by the live portals, so test them first.
Does it manage contract workers’ payroll?
It keeps a register of contractors with their licence details and worker counts. It does not run payroll for a contractor’s workers.
