APM Staff Attendance & Salary

Attendance, piece-rate wages, salary, advances, bonuses, deductions and payslip management for businesses and factories.

Overview

Traditional HR software often fails to address the ground realities of Indian SMEs: factory floors, retail outlets, and multi-branch service centers. APM Staff Attendance & Salary is built to bridge this gap, focusing on attendance, wage calculation, and practical worker records.

  • Ideal for factories, shops, warehouses, and construction sites
  • Manage attendance, piece-rate wages, advances, bonuses, deductions, and payslips
  • Monitor geographically dispersed business branches in real-time
  • Keep worker history organized for future reference

Stop Losing Profits to Administrative Friction

Small and medium business owners in India lose hundreds of hours annually to manual payroll and attendance disputes. This 'administrative leakage' directly impacts your bottom line. We built a 'Workforce Operating System' that eliminates this friction, providing 100% data integrity and allowing owners to focus on growth while our system handles the complexity of compliance and calculations.

Troubleshooting

Staff cannot mark attendance due to location error.

Ensure the staff member has enabled 'High Accuracy' location mode and granted background location permissions to the app. Also verify that the geofence radius for the branch is correctly configured in the admin dashboard.

Salary calculations are not showing PF deductions.

Verify that the employee's PF enrollment flag is active in their profile and that the salary exceeds the minimum statutory threshold defined in your settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this system handle PF and ESI calculations?

Yes, our payroll engine is built with Indian statutory requirements in mind. It can be configured to automate PF, ESI, Professional Tax, and other mandatory deductions based on the latest government slabs.

Can I manage multiple business locations?

Absolutely. APM Staff Attendance & Salary is designed for multi-branch operations. You can monitor all locations from a single admin dashboard, set different shift timings for each branch, and assign local managers with restricted access.

What happens if a staff member marks attendance without internet?

The app supports offline attendance marking. Data is stored securely on the device with a cryptographic timestamp and automatically synced to the Liyatek cloud once a stable connection is restored.

Is there a limit to the number of employees I can add?

The architecture is built to scale. Whether you have 10 employees in a small shop or 1,000 across multiple factories, our system handles the load with consistent performance.

Can staff view their own attendance and salary slips?

Yes. Staff members can be given access to a 'Self-Service' mode where they can view their daily logs, pending leaves, and download their monthly salary slips, reducing the burden on your HR/Admin team.
