Everything Punchify does, module by module

Attendance, payroll and compliance for Indian factories and SMEs — one system, one set of records, one app for your staff.

Attendance

Punches from biometric machines and the mobile app land in one register, and every day is worked out from them.

AiFace face-recognition machines, each linked to its own plant or branch, or to all of them
A machine is told a punch was received only after it is safely stored
Send staff to a machine, or take them off it, from Punchify
Choose for each employee how they may punch: machine, mobile app, or both
Shifts with unpaid breaks, effective-dated rosters and week offs
Late coming, early going and overtime beyond the shift's length
Holidays by branch
Your own attendance month, such as 21st to 20th
Default statuses at the start of the day and on the first punch
Missed-punch and other attendance requests from the app, within limits you set
A live board of who is in today, and a 10 AM email of who has not come in

One app for employees and admins. Available for Android on Google Play; the iPhone app is coming to the App Store.

Punch in and out from the employee's own phone
A selfie with every punch, if you switch it on
A geofence around each branch that blocks or flags a punch from outside it
GPS accuracy is allowed for, so a weak signal does not cost anybody a day
Employees see attendance, apply for leave, download payslips and raise claims and advance requests
Employees can tell the office when a detail on their profile is wrong
Admins see today's attendance, approve requests and look after staff
Phone notifications for leave, approvals and salary

For field staff: where they are during working hours, and the route they took.

Leave policies that run themselves, from the request on the phone to the attendance register.

Employees apply in the app; managers approve on the web
Leave policies per employee, with full and half days
Monthly credit, carry forward, encashment and lapse at the end of the leave year
Comp-off with an expiry date
Week offs never count as leave
Approved leave is written into attendance automatically

Salary worked out from attendance, line by line — every rupee traces back to a day.

Salary structures from templates, effective from a date
Monthly, per-day and per-hour wages
Overtime, and fines for late coming and early going
Advances, loans with instalments, incentives, reimbursements and one-time earnings or deductions
Waive, override or add an amount for one month without touching attendance
Lock a month and issue payslips — an issued payslip never changes
A month that comes out negative pays nothing and is recovered the next month
Increments with arrears, and full and final settlement
Record salary payments and see what is paid and what is pending
Big runs — locking or paying hundreds of staff — continue in the background

PF, ESI, Professional Tax and LWF on earned wages, and the files and registers to go with them. Gujarat-first.

PF with each employee's pension (EPS) choice, and ESI
Professional Tax and LWF by each state's own slabs
PF ECR 2.0 text file for the EPFO portal
ESIC contribution file

An inspector pack — every register for a month in one workbook
Company and branch registration numbers kept in one place

The month's salary transfer as a file your bank accepts, instead of typing it again.

Offer, appointment, confirmation, increment and relieving letters and experience certificates, from your own templates

A leaver is archived, not deleted, so their records stay

The right person decides — and for sensitive changes, a second person checks.

Leave, attendance requests, expense claims and advance requests in one Approvals inbox
An approval chain you define
Two-person approval: changes you choose wait for a second person before they apply

Attendance, payroll and employee reports — on screen, in Excel, or ready to print.

Salaries, Aadhaar numbers and bank accounts are kept safe, and every admin sees only what they should.

Roles and permissions — none, view, edit or full — area by area
Limit an admin to their own branch, department or team
