Payroll Software for Salary, Attendance, PF, ESI and Payslips
Process monthly salaries, generate professional salary slips, track attendance and leave, manage statutory deductions, and keep employee records in one BharatERP workflow.
Excel Payroll vs BharatERP Payroll
A practical comparison for businesses currently preparing salaries, attendance, and salary slips manually.
| Payroll Work | Excel / Manual Payroll | BharatERP Payroll |
|---|---|---|
| Employee Records | Employee details are spread across sheets, folders, emails, or registers. | Central employee master with salary, bank, PAN, UAN, department, and joining details. |
| Attendance & Leave | Manual day counting can create LOP, overtime, and leave calculation mistakes. | Attendance, paid leave, half-day, overtime, holidays, and loss-of-pay can be reviewed before payroll. |
| Salary Calculation | Formula errors, copied cells, and missed updates can affect salary accuracy. | Salary components, earnings, deductions, arrears, and net pay follow a repeatable monthly workflow. |
| PF, ESI, PT, TDS | Deduction rules are often handled in separate sheets and may be hard to audit later. | Editable deduction fields help keep PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS, loans, and advances visible in one place. |
| Salary Slips | One-by-one salary slip creation takes time and formatting changes are difficult to maintain. | Generate branded payslip PDFs and prepare them for employee sharing. |
| Reports | Salary register, deduction summary, and bank advice need manual consolidation. | Payroll reports can be generated from approved payroll data. |
| Accounting Link | Salary expense and payable entries must be prepared separately. | Payroll can be connected with BharatERP accounting entries after approval. |
