Payroll Bundals›Labour attendance and daily wages

Daily wage workers

A labour attendance app that also works out the wages.

For factories, sites and contractors who pay by the day or by the piece. Hajri is marked once by the supervisor, advances are written down the day they are given, and at month end the wages are already worked out.

One worker, one month

Days worked × day rate, minus what was taken.

Meena Parmar packs at Umiya Engineering Works on ₹450 a day. Her September is three numbers a worker understands: days worked, advance returned, salary to pay.

She worked 24 days, so she earned 24 × ₹450 = ₹10,800.

She had taken an advance of ₹2,000 for school fees. ₹1,000 comes back this month and ₹1,000 is still to return.

PF and ESI are cut by fixed rules, and shown as their own lines.

She is paid ₹9,071 by UPI, and her payslip says the same.

Hajri

The supervisor marks the gang. Workers need no phone.

Daily workers often share a phone or have none. So attendance does not depend on them.

Mark everyone inOne tap by the supervisor at the start of the shift. Then change only the people who did not come.

Advances

Every advance written down. No argument on pay day.

With daily workers, money goes out through the month. If it lives in a diary, pay day becomes a debate. Here each advance goes into one ledger on the day it is given.

When you give an advance, you choose how much comes back each month.

The cut is made by itself in the salary run. You do not have to remember it.

All cuts together are kept to half of the month's wagesverify.

The worker can open a link and see the same balance you see. A worker can also ask for an advance from that link, and you say yes or no.

Not only daily wage

Piece rate, overtime and cash, too.

Kind of work

How it is handled

Piece rate

Enter the pieces each worker made that day. Pay is pieces × the rate for that item. Imran Shaikh on Machine 4 made 1,840 pieces at ₹8 in September. You can set a minimum for the day, and a worker who earns less is topped up to it.

Overtime

Days with extra hours are listed from the in and out times. Overtime starts after 8 hours a day and is paid at double rateverify, after you approve it.

Paid leave and holidays

An approved paid leave or a paid holiday is paid to a daily worker at the day rate.

Cash wages

Workers paid in cash come out on a cash sheet with a box to sign. Workers with a bank account or UPI go on the bank file or the UPI list.

Labour contractors

For each contractor: their headcount, days and bill for the month, and whether proof of wages, PF and ESI has come in. The bill stays on hold until it has.

Wages every week

Wages are worked out month by month. If you pay something every week, record it as an advance and it is cut from the month's wages.

What "verify" means. Every figure with this mark is a rule set by the government, as we read it in October 2026 from published summaries, not from the gazette itself. Rules change and differ by state. Check each one with your CA against the government notification before you use it.

The apps behind this page

Real apps, not a feature list.

For daily-wage and site work, these six apps do most of the job.

Today

See who is in, who is absent, who is on leave and who is not marked yet. A day with no out time is flagged until you settle it.

Advances and Loans

Every advance and loan in one ledger. The cut comes off salary by itself and the worker sees the same balance.

Piece Work

Enter pieces made per worker each day. Pay is pieces times rate, topped up to a minimum for the day if you set one.

Sites and Clients

Attendance and wages kept separately for each site or client, for contractors and agencies.

Labour Contractors

Track each labour contractor, their workers, and proof that wages, PF and ESI were paid.

Payouts

One bank file for net banking, one UPI list and one cash sheet to sign. Mark each as paid.

Questions owners ask

No. The supervisor marks attendance for the whole team. A worker with a phone can open a link to see their payslip and advance balance; a worker without one gets a printed payslip.

There is nothing to download. It opens in the browser on any Android phone, iPhone or computer.

Not yet. The screens are in English today, written in plain words such as "days worked", "advance given" and "salary to pay".

Yes. Sites and Clients keeps who is at which site and gives a wage sheet and a muster sheet for each site at month end.

The Minimum Wage app checks each worker against the rates you or your CA type in for your state, zone and skill. No rates are filled in for you, because they are revised often and must come from the notification.

If PF and ESI are switched on for your business and for that worker, they are cut by the same fixed rules as for anyone else, and the monthly files include them. Whether a worker is covered is a question for your CA.
