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.
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.
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.
Three sites, four subcontractors, hundreds of workers. Project managers have no single view of who is on site, working overtime, or missing entirely.
Hourly masons, daily-wage helpers, monthly-paid supervisors, all under statutory rules for PF, ESI, PT, LWF, and TDS. Spreadsheets can't handle it.
Every feature below is live in SalaryBox — verified from the product today, not marketing fluff.
AI Selfie Punch-In with face verification, biometric device integration, GPS attendance, QR code check-in, and AI Attendance Kiosk — one solution for every site role.
Set a virtual boundary around every project site with customizable radius. Fake GPS Blocking and Verified Device Punch-In stop proxy attendance at the gate.
Manage attendance, rosters, leave, and payroll across every project site from one dashboard. Filter by site, supervisor, or crew for instant visibility.
Fixed and rotating shifts, multiple daily shifts, monthly roster planning, shift time limits, mandatory working hours, and automatic break tracking.
Monthly, daily, and hourly pay in one platform. Calendar-month, 30-day, or 26-day cycles. Custom allowances and overtime built in.
PF with ECR file generation, ESI, state-specific Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, and TDS — all calculated and ready to file every month.
From gate-entry attendance to final payroll — every capability built for the realities of a live construction site.
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.
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.
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.
Construction payroll demands full statutory compliance without the manual overhead. SalaryBox handles every deduction automatically: Provident Fund calculated per worker with a ready-to-upload ECR file every cycle. Employees' State Insurance calculated accurately. State-specific Professional Tax deducted with the correct slabs — essential for contractors working across states. Labour Welfare Fund at the right frequency and contribution rate per state. TDS calculated against the latest tax regime. Support for monthly, daily, and hourly pay in the same run covers daily-wage labourers, contract workers, and monthly-salaried supervisors. Loans and salary advances auto-deduct. Reimbursements with digital receipts slot in automatically. One click generates payslips and pushes payments.
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.
We work across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka. Three different PT slabs, three different LWF schedules. Before SalaryBox this was a nightmare — now the state rules apply automatically per site. Our compliance team has their weekends back.
