Manufacturing HR has the most complex worker classification in India. Permanent vs contract has different PF rules. Apprentices follow the Apprentices Act. Trainees follow your internal rate. Each shift, each worker class, each statutory category — hrPLANR handles it. One platform, six worker types, zero spreadsheets.
Manufacturing HR uses the whole platform, but these are the daily-driver modules:
3-shift, 6-day operations modeled correctly. Biometric or app-based check-in, per-station roll-up, automatic overtime calculation per the Factories Act 1948 (Section 51 · weekly cap + double rate). Reconciles to payroll without a single export.
Permanent. Contract. Apprentice. Trainee. Intern. Probationer. Each with its own PF rule, gratuity eligibility, leave policy, notice period. hrPLANR's HR module lets you set the policy once per worker class and apply automatically — no per-person configuration drift.
Running payroll for 600 people across worker classes is where most HRMSes give up. hrPLANR handles it as a single batch. UAN/UCN-linked PF, ESI cutoff-aware deductions, gratuity accruals for eligible classes, bonus per Payment of Bonus Act 1965. All in one cycle.
The cycle most plants dread. Three shifts × 30 days × 600+ workers = 54,000+ attendance records. Each contract worker has different statutory handling than a permanent worker. The Karnataka factory has different PT than the Tamil Nadu one. In hrPLANR, this runs as one payroll batch.
Manufacturing has the most statutory complexity in Indian HR. We model all of it correctly out of the box.
