The monthly payroll problem in an engineering unit

Coimbatore's foundries, pump makers and CNC shops run long hours, often on two or three shifts, with a mix of permanent workers, trainees and contract labour. At month end the HR or accounts team exports punches from the biometric machine, fixes missed punches in Excel, calculates overtime, applies loss of pay and advances, and then works out PF and ESI for every worker. It takes days, and mistakes show up as worker disputes or statutory notices.

VelHR does this work for you. Punches flow in from the device, shifts and OT are calculated automatically, and one payroll run gives you payslips plus the PF ECR file, ESI report, PT report and bank transfer statement.

What VelHR does on the shop floor

Live biometric sync

eSSL and ZKTeco devices push punches straight into attendance, with no exporting or re-typing.

Shifts, late marks & OT

General, day, night and rotating shifts, with late marking and overtime from actual punches.

Permanent & contract workers

Separate salary structures for staff, trainees and contract labour, each with the right PF and ESI rules.

PF, ESI, PT & TDS

Statutory deductions for every employee, with PF ECR, ESI and PT reports ready to file.

Advances & loans

Salary advances and loans recovered automatically through monthly payroll.

More than one plant

Run several units and locations under one company on the Enterprise plan.

What it costs

The Factory plan includes live biometric sync, shifts and overtime. It costs ₹2,499 a month for up to 50 employees and ₹45 for each extra employee, so a 100-worker CNC shop pays ₹2,499 + 50 × ₹45 = ₹4,749 a month plus GST, and a 150-worker pump unit pays ₹6,999 a month plus GST. Plants with more than 300 employees or several locations can choose Enterprise at ₹40 per employee a month (minimum ₹12,000). Annual billing gives 12 months for the price of 10, and the first biometric device is connected free on annual plans. See the pricing page for every plan.
