Attendance and payroll software for manufacturing units

Textiles, foundries, auto components, food processing — three shifts, weekly rotation, overtime on production targets and a wage sheet that must be ready on the 5th. Timeion computes all of it from the punches.

What goes wrong today

The three problems we hear from manufacturing units

01

The night shift lands on two dates

An 8 PM punch and an 8 AM punch look like two half-days in a biometric export. Supervisors fix it by hand, and the wage sheet is argued at the gate.

02

Overtime is a negotiation

Extra hours are noted in a register, rounded by whoever writes it, and paid differently in each department.

03

Registers for the inspector

Form B, muster roll, OT register — rebuilt from Excel every time a labour inspector visits, and never quite matching the salary paid.

A typical day

One day at a manufacturing unit, counted correctly

Every row is a different rule. Timeion counts each one by its own shift — including the ones that cross midnight.

FAQ

Questions from manufacturing units

Can Timeion handle three rotating shifts with a weekly changeover?
Yes. Rotation rosters are date-bounded, so the A → B → C changeover is scheduled in advance and the engine pairs each worker's punches against the shift they are actually on that week.
How is overtime calculated for factory workers?
Overtime is computed from the punches against the shift end, by the rule you set — single or double rate, minimum block, and a cap per shift — and flows straight into the wage sheet.
Do contract workers and permanent staff work on the same system?
Yes. They can sit in separate groups with their own pay rules, devices and reports, and still appear in one consolidated attendance and payroll run.
Are statutory registers available for labour inspections?
Yes. Muster roll, wage register and OT register are generated from the same data that produced the salary, so they always match what was paid.
