Most shops and godowns still keep attendance in a register, work salary out in Excel and have the accountant type it into Tally. The Staff and Payroll add-on runs that month inside the same Takkada app you already use for your Tally books.
Mark all present, then change the few who are absent, on half day, on paid leave, on the weekly off or on a holiday. Set the weekly off, holidays and the time work starts once in settings.
Add in and out times where they matter and the overtime is worked out from them, at your overtime rate, with a higher rate for work on the weekly off if you set one.
Staff ask for leave from their own phone. You approve or reject it with a note, approved leave goes into salary as paid leave, and both sides see how much leave is left.
The month's salary is worked out from attendance, overtime, fines, bonus, advances and deductions, and each line shows how it was reached. See salary so far at any point and confirm it on the last day to lock the month.
Every payslip opens in English or Hindi and downloads as a PDF. Staff see their own slips in the Takkada app and are told when one is ready.
Give an advance and take it back from the next salary or in monthly parts, and approve a staff bill to the right Tally expense ledger, paid now or with salary.
Give a staff loan with an EMI, with interest if you want, and see every EMI with its interest and the balance left. The salary run takes back the EMI that is due.
Staff open their own attendance, leave, payslips and ledger in the Takkada app. Nobody can open another person's salary.
PF ECR and ESI files are prepared from confirmed salary for you or your CA to upload, and one balanced salary entry is made for Tally and sent through Takkada's Tally connector.

It takes the month's attendance, overtime, late and early fines, bonus, advances and deductions, and works out every line with the working shown on the payslip.
