Payroll
MeraUdyog Payroll processes salaries across every branch from attendance data already in the system: salary structure builder, automated payroll runs, statutory deductions, bank transfer file export and payslip generation. Without the manual attendance upload a standalone payroll vendor requires each cycle.
Why it matters
Standalone payroll software specialises in compliance but demands a manual attendance file every month. Because Attendance and Payroll share one data core here, late marks and absences flow into the run automatically, and the recurring reconciliation step disappears.
Because Payroll shares one data core with every other module, the work it produces is immediately usable everywhere else: scoped by branch, center and owner, visible in Analytics, and available to Workflow Automation as a trigger.
One run, every branch. No manual attendance upload.

Use cases
Three ways teams put Payroll to work in week one.
Automated monthly payroll runs across all branches
One run covers every branch, with branch-wise cost reporting that shows where cost per employee is drifting out of line.
Attendance-linked payroll deductions
Late marks and unapproved absences adjust pay automatically, and an attendance-to-payroll report shows each employee the reason for their deduction.
Employee loan and advance tracking with auto-repayment
An advance is recorded once and deducted across three cycles automatically, which ends the ledger disputes that manual tracking creates.
Industries where Payroll carries the most weight.
Payroll FAQs
Payroll computes statutory deductions of the PF, ESI and TDS type automatically from the salary structure, generates payslips, and exports a bank-ready transfer file. Statutory document tracking and expiry alerts sit in HRMS alongside it. For jurisdiction-specific filing requirements, confirm scope with our team during your evaluation.
Directly, from the Attendance module on the same data core: no export, no upload, no reconciliation. This is the single biggest practical difference from running a standalone payroll vendor, where a manual attendance file every cycle is the norm and the most common source of errors.
Yes. Branch-wise Payroll Cost and Cost-to-Company reports break spend down by location and role, which is what lets a regional manager compare cost per employee across branches and lets leadership judge whether a location is actually profitable.
