Product scope

What it does

When the HR & Payroll workspace is enabled for your school (it's still rolling out school by school), review employee-code punch logs alongside approved leave and substitute coverage. Employee punches remain presence evidence: they do not create payroll-ready staff attendance or feed salary calculations automatically. The substitute board can rank available same-subject teachers for uncovered periods.

The school problem

School teams need a dependable way to handle Staff Attendance: Review punches, leave, and substitute coverage. The required records, assigned roles and review boundary must remain explicit.

Availability and setup

What to confirm before rollout

Included from Pro

Run salaries end to end — staff records, attendance, leave, compensation, payroll runs, payslips — with the statutory outputs Indian schools are asked for: Section 192 TDS with Form 16 and 24Q, EPF ECR and ESIC contribution files.

  • HR & Payroll enabled for your school, plus governed workforce-time configuration and employee identities
  • Beta — the statutory outputs (EPF ECR, ESIC, Form 24Q) have not yet been validated across a full financial year by a partner CA; run your first cycle alongside your existing process
  • This capability is still rolling out school by school; ask us about availability before you plan it into your rollout.
