Staff, leave and payroll

One directory for everyone on the payroll, a leave policy with real accrual and multi-level approval, and a monthly payroll run that reports exactly who was paid and who was skipped.

Who uses it: HR, the accounts office and the principal, with staff using self-service.

The EDUTIG payrolls screen. A table lists monthly payroll cycles with a status of generated, paid or cancelled, 47 payslips in each run and the net total in rupees, under a New Payroll button.
Monthly payroll cycles: generate payslips, approve them and mark them paid.

What it handles

  • Staff directory

    One directory for everyone on the payroll: teachers, office, accounts, drivers and guards, organised by department and designation, with automatic employee IDs.

  • Departments and designations

    Group staff by department and designation. A designation marked as teaching makes a new joiner immediately available for class and subject assignments.

  • Staff profiles and documents

    A profile per staff member with photo, reporting manager, assignments, attendance, uploaded documents, leave balances and payslips, plus a printable profile PDF.

  • Staff leave

    Define as many leave types as you need, each with its own annual allowance, accrual rhythm, half-day rule, minimum notice and required reason.

  • Leave accrual and balances

    Leave accrues monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly, new joiners get a fair pro-rated share, and unused days carry forward up to a cap while the rest lapse.

  • Multi-level leave approval

    Route a leave request through as many approval steps as your school needs, to a reporting manager, a role, a designation or a named person, with a full decision trail.

  • Salary structures

    Build each person's pay from a basic salary plus reusable allowance and deduction components, with dated revisions so a raise takes effect in the right month.

  • Monthly payroll runs

    Preview a month's payroll, generate every payslip at once, then approve and mark it paid. Each run reports exactly who was paid and who was skipped, and why.

  • Attendance-based deductions

    Unpaid absences are deducted automatically from the month's attendance, while approved paid leave is never penalised.

    • Deductions are optional and can be switched off, and the daily rate can be based on gross or basic pay.
    • Attendance must be recorded for the month, or that person is skipped rather than paid incorrectly.
  • Payslips

    Payslips carry their own number and print on your letterhead from figures frozen at generation, so a reprint months later matches the original.

    • Payslips print from the browser, which can also save a PDF.

How the work flows

  1. Build the directory

    Teachers, office, accounts, drivers and guards in one place, organised by department and designation, with automatic employee IDs and a login invite.

  2. Set the leave policy

    As many leave types as you need, each with its own allowance, accrual rhythm, half-day rule, minimum notice and required reason.

  3. Leave runs itself

    Days accrue monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly, new joiners get a pro-rated share, and unused days carry forward up to a cap while the rest lapse. Every movement is backed by a ledger.

  4. Approvals route properly

    A request goes to a reporting manager, a role, a designation or a named person, through as many steps as your school needs, with the full decision trail kept.

  5. Define the pay

    A basic salary plus reusable allowance and deduction components, with dated revisions so a raise takes effect in the right month.

  6. Run payroll

    Preview first, generate every payslip at once, then approve, which locks the run, and mark it paid. Payslips print on your letterhead from figures frozen at generation.

What you need first

  • Departments and designations, so staff can be grouped and teaching staff recognised.
  • A salary structure in force for the month you are paying.
  • Attendance for the month if you use attendance-based deductions.

How it behaves

  • Payroll is paid as one batch per month; there is no per-payslip payment status.
  • Salary components are fixed amounts, not percentages or formulas, and there is no statutory tax calculation.
  • Regenerating a run replaces its payslips, including any manual adjustments.

In development for this area

Being built now, not yet available. Each line says what happens today instead.

  • Statutory tax in payroll

    Salary components are fixed amounts you set today. Formula-based components and statutory tax deductions are being built.

  • Staff self check-in

    Staff attendance is entered by the office today, with a correction request if something is wrong. A self check-in for staff is being built.
