SalaryBox

Built for Construction Sites

Construction Workforce Management Software

SalaryBox is construction workforce management software built for the way real job sites run — daily-wage labourers, contract workers, rotating site crews, multi-site supervision, and strict statutory compliance. Capture attendance at the site gate with biometric devices, AI selfie punch-in, or GPS check-in with unlimited geofences. Build rosters for every crew, track hours across every site in real time, and run labour-compliant payroll with PF, ESI, PT, LWF, and TDS fully automated. One platform for every site, every worker, every payroll cycle.

The Reality on Site

Construction Sites Break Every Generic Workforce Tool



5-8%
of monthly construction wages
are typically lost to proxy attendance, buddy punching, and reconciliation errors.
Daily-wage workers Paper registers
Contract crews WhatsApp logs
Site supervisors Excel sheets
Compliance Manual reconcile

A construction project runs on a workforce that most software wasn't built for — daily-wage labourers arriving at dawn, contract crews coming in through subcontractors, site supervisors working rotating shifts, and skilled operators moving between sites mid-week. Attendance is scattered across paper registers at the site gate, WhatsApp messages from supervisors, and muster rolls that nobody reconciles until it's time to cut wages. One missing punch and you're arguing with a subcontractor over 40 hours of disputed labour.

Add the compliance load — PF ECR files for each site, ESI contributions, state-specific Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund at different rates across states, and TDS calculations that change with every finance bill — and you have a payroll team drowning in spreadsheets every month-end. Meanwhile contractors lose money to proxy attendance, buddy punching, and workers clocking in from outside the site. Every error costs wages you shouldn't have paid and compliance penalties you can't afford.

PROBLEM 01

Proxy Attendance and Buddy Punching at the Site Gate

Paper registers get signed for absent workers. Punch cards get shared. Time theft quietly adds 5–8% to monthly wages and nobody notices until year-end.

PROBLEM 02

No Visibility Across Multiple Active Sites

Three sites, four subcontractors, hundreds of workers. Project managers have no single view of who is on site, working overtime, or missing entirely.

PROBLEM 03

Daily-Wage + Contract + Monthly Payroll, All Mixed

Hourly masons, daily-wage helpers, monthly-paid supervisors, all under statutory rules for PF, ESI, PT, LWF, and TDS. Spreadsheets can't handle it.

How It Works On Site

Four Features That Change How You Manage Site Labour

From gate-entry attendance to final payroll — every capability built for the realities of a live construction site.

01
Attendance at the Site Gate

Five Attendance Modes for Every Kind of Site Worker

Construction sites don't have one type of worker, so one attendance mode can't serve them all. Daily-wage labourers with no smartphones punch in at a biometric device installed at the site gate. Site supervisors use AI Selfie Punch-In with face verification from their phones. Contract crews reporting to different blocks use QR Code Punch-In. Field engineers at remote sites use GPS attendance. Any spare tablet at the security cabin becomes an AI Attendance Kiosk — an automatic face-recognition punch-in station. Every mode captures a tamper-proof record with timestamp and location, and everything feeds into one unified log in real time — whether you have one site or fifty.

  • Biometric device integration for gate-entry punch-in
  • AI Selfie Punch-In with face verification for supervisors
  • GPS Attendance for field engineers and site visitors
  • QR Code Punch-In for contract labour and subcontractor crews

Geofencing & Anti-Fraud

Stop Proxy Attendance With Site-Level Geofences

Construction wages leak through one of the oldest problems in the industry — workers punching in from outside the site, or one labourer signing the register for three. SalaryBox puts a virtual boundary around every project site with a customizable radius. Attendance is only accepted when the worker's device is physically inside the site. Fake GPS Blocking detects any location-spoofing app and rejects the check-in. Verified Device Punch-In locks each worker to an approved phone so someone else can't punch for them. Together, these three layers make proxy attendance effectively impossible — and contractors typically recover 5–8% of monthly wages that were quietly leaking to time theft.

  • Unlimited geofences with customizable radius per project site
  • Multi-location support from one workforce dashboard
  • Fake GPS Blocking rejects location-spoofing apps
  • Verified Device Punch-In restricts check-ins to approved phones

Crew Scheduling & Hours

Build Rosters for Rotating Site Crews in Minutes

Construction crews move — one week on Site A, next week on Site B, night shift for the concrete pour. SalaryBox handles every rotation: create fixed or rotating shift schedules, manage multiple daily shifts, and build monthly rosters for crews and supervisors in minutes. Shift time limits automatically block early check-ins and late check-outs that silently inflate overtime costs. Mandatory working hours ensure half-days and short-working days are recorded correctly. Break tracking deducts unpaid break time from totals automatically. Every hour captured correctly means accurate wages, clean payroll reports, and no more Sunday-night disputes with subcontractors over disputed hours.

  • Fixed and rotating shift patterns for every crew
  • Monthly roster planning for multi-site workforces
  • Shift time limits block early check-ins and late check-outs
  • Break tracking with automatic unpaid-time deduction

Contractors Run Their Sites on SalaryBox

From mid-size contractors to multi-site developers — construction teams trust SalaryBox with attendance, crew management, and labour payroll.

Proxy attendance was costing us close to 7% of monthly wages. Geofencing plus biometric at the site gate shut that down overnight. Our site payroll now reconciles in three hours instead of three days — and every ECR file is ready to upload the day we run payroll.

FAQ

Construction Workforce Management — Common Questions

Answers to what contractors, project managers, and payroll teams ask before going live.

Construction workforce management software is a platform that helps contractors plan, track, and manage labour across project sites. It typically combines attendance capture (biometric, mobile, GPS, QR), crew scheduling and rosters, leave and overtime management, multi-site visibility, and payroll with statutory compliance. For Indian contractors this includes PF with ECR files, ESI, state-specific Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, and TDS. SalaryBox delivers all of these in a single mobile-first platform built for the realities of a live construction site.
SalaryBox supports five attendance modes designed for every kind of site worker. Daily-wage labourers with no smartphones use a biometric device installed at the site gate. Site supervisors use AI Selfie Punch-In with face verification from their phone. Contract crews use QR Code Punch-In. Remote-site engineers use GPS Attendance. A spare tablet at the security cabin becomes an AI Attendance Kiosk — an automatic face-recognition punch-in station. All five modes log into one unified attendance dashboard in real time.
Yes. SalaryBox combines three anti-fraud layers. First, geofencing — you define a virtual boundary around every site with a customizable radius, and attendance is only accepted inside it. Second, Fake GPS Blocking — the system detects and rejects any attempt to use a location-spoofing app. Third, Verified Device Punch-In — each worker is locked to an approved phone, so someone else can't punch in for them. Together these make proxy attendance effectively impossible.
Yes. SalaryBox is built for multi-location operations. Contractors managing multiple project sites across different cities or states use one dashboard to see live attendance, active rosters, leave approvals, labour cost, and payroll status across every site. Each site can have its own geofence, its own supervisors with role-based access, and its own reporting — while HQ gets a consolidated view. Payroll can be run per site or for all sites at once.
Yes. SalaryBox supports monthly, daily, and hourly pay structures in the same platform with calendar-month, 30-day, or 26-day salary cycles per worker. This covers every kind of worker found on a construction site — daily-wage helpers, hourly skilled labour, contract crews from subcontractors, and monthly-salaried supervisors and project managers. Custom allowances including HRA, DA, LTA, and any component you define can be added to any pay structure.
Yes. Provident Fund is calculated and a ready-to-upload ECR file is generated every month. ESI contributions are calculated per worker. Professional Tax uses state-specific slabs for all Indian states — essential for contractors operating across multiple states. Labour Welfare Fund deductions follow state-specific rules on frequency and contribution. TDS is calculated against the latest tax regime. All statutory reports are exportable and audit-ready.
Yes. You can create fixed and rotating shift patterns, manage multiple daily shifts, and build monthly rosters for every crew. Shift time limits automatically block early check-ins and late check-outs that silently increase overtime costs. Mandatory working hours ensure half-days and short-working days are recorded correctly. Break tracking deducts unpaid break time automatically so payroll always reflects actual hours worked.
Yes. Salary advances — common on construction sites — are tracked in the system and automatically deducted from payroll on the schedule you define. Staff loans follow the same structure. Site expense reimbursements, including transport, tools, and PPE purchases, are uploaded with digital receipts via the employee app, approved by supervisors, and included in the next payroll run without any manual data entry.
Yes. You can start a free trial without a credit card and invite your site team right away. The trial includes full access to all five attendance modes, unlimited geofences, shift rosters with break tracking, leave management, multi-site dashboards, and automated payroll with statutory compliance. Most construction teams go live with real attendance on the same day they sign up.
