HR software for Indian manufacturing — shift management, Factories Act overtime, biometric integration, ESIC dispensary compliance, contract-worker tracking and multi-plant payroll. Built for Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad factories.
Configure rotating day, evening, and night shifts with automatic shift allocation. Track clock-in/clock-out against each shift schedule, calculate overtime at 2x rate per Factories Act norms, and flag late arrivals and early departures. Shift rosters can be published weekly via the mobile app — workers in your Pune, Ahmedabad, or Chennai plant see their schedule instantly.
Process payroll for 100–5,000 factory workers in minutes. PF calculated at 12% of basic wages (EPFO ECR file ready on the 15th), ESI at 0.75% employee + 3.25% employer for workers earning ≤ ₹21,000/month, overtime pay auto-added based on shift logs, and state-wise Professional Tax — Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu all pre-configured.
Manufacturing establishments are legally required to maintain ESIC compliance for eligible workers. Avani generates the monthly ESIC contribution statement, tracks employee ESI card numbers, flags eligibility changes when wages cross ₹21,000, and produces return data formatted for the ESIC portal. ESIC dispensary compliance reports available on demand for factory inspections.
Most Indian factories use biometric time-and-attendance devices. Avani accepts biometric CSV/text exports from leading Indian devices (Essl, Realtime, BioMax, Identix) and processes them automatically every day. No manual punch-data entry — attendance data is reconciled with shift schedules and anomalies are flagged for supervisors to review.
Manufacturing companies frequently employ contract and daily-wage workers through contractors. Avani tracks contract workers separately, manages their attendance and wages, records the contractor name and license number, and generates contractor-wise payment summaries. Ensures compliance with the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Overtime hours are calculated automatically from shift logs — daily overtime (beyond 8 hours) and weekly overtime (beyond 48 hours per Factories Act). Safety incidents can be logged against individual employees with date, nature of incident, and corrective action — building an audit trail for factory inspections and maintaining compliance with state factory regulations.
Yes. Avani supports rotational shift patterns — day shift, afternoon/evening shift, and night shift — with configurable start and end times. Shift rosters can be created weekly or monthly and published to workers via the mobile app. Overtime is calculated automatically per the Factories Act: any hours beyond 8 per day or 48 per week are flagged and paid at the applicable rate. Supervisors get a daily attendance summary showing late arrivals, absences, and overtime hours.
Manufacturing establishments with 10 or more workers must comply with the Employees State Insurance Act. Avani tracks ESI eligibility (gross wages ≤ ₹21,000/month), computes contributions (3.25% employer + 0.75% employee), generates the monthly wage register for the ESIC portal, and tracks each worker's ESI insurance number. When a worker's wages increase beyond the ESI threshold, the system automatically stops ESI deduction and flags the change — keeping you compliant without manual monitoring.
Avani processes biometric attendance exports from all major Indian brands: Essl (eTimeTrackLite), Realtime Biometrics, BioMax, Identix, and other devices that export CSV or text punch logs. The integration is file-based — you export the punch log from your biometric device (or schedule an automated export) and Avani processes it. This approach works with any biometric hardware without requiring complex API integration.
Avani maintains a separate category for contract workers with fields for contractor name, contractor licence number, contract period, and daily wage rate. Attendance and wages are tracked separately from regular employees. Contractor-wise payment summaries are generated for the principal employer's records — useful for compliance under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. PF and ESI are applied based on the contractor's obligation, and records are available for government inspections.
