Attendance software for factories in Sri Lanka: shifts, overtime and payroll

A factory runs on shifts, overtime and incentives, and the attendance machine at the gate only records the punch. Humanised reads the ZKTeco or HikVision face or fingerprint terminal and judges every punch against a three-shift roster. It applies the overtime, late and no-pay rules you set, pays the attendance incentive to the staff who earned it, and posts the month to payroll. From LKR 25,000 a month for up to 50 employees.

Factory shift attendance in Humanised

Factory attendance has three jobs the gate machine cannot do. Match each punch to the right shift. Work out overtime and incentives at the rates in your Wages Board decision or contracts. Give the Labour Department the registers it asks for. Humanised does those three from the punches your existing terminal already records, and sends the result to payroll with no retyping.

The terminal at the gate

Face terminals are the usual choice on a factory floor: wet, oily or gloved hands do not read well on a fingerprint sensor. Humanised reads both ZKTeco and HikVision face and fingerprint terminals. Keep the device you have, or see what a new one costs in the biometric attendance guide. One terminal per gate or line; each is an add-on of LKR 36,000 a year.

Three-shift rosters

Morning, evening and night patterns, including the night shift that crosses midnight, on a weekly grid. Assign by line or section. Every punch is judged against the shift the employee was on, so a 6 a.m. punch on the night shift is an on-time finish, not a late start. See shift roster software.

Incentives the staff can see

An attendance allowance works when staff trust the count. In Humanised the rule is set once, for example no absence and no late mark in the month. The app shows each employee their own punches and late marks as the month goes on. The allowance lands on the payslip of the staff who earned it, with no end-of-month argument.

Registers for the Labour Department

Attendance register, overtime register and leave register, by employee, line or department, for any date range. Overtime limits and the hours worked are visible per employee, so an inspection is a report, not a search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fingerprint or face terminal for a factory?

Face terminals are the usual choice where hands are wet, oily or gloved. Humanised reads both ZKTeco and HikVision fingerprint and face terminals. See the biometric attendance guide for prices.

Can it run a three-shift roster?

Yes. Morning, evening and night patterns, including night shifts that cross midnight, assigned on a weekly grid, with every punch judged against the right shift.

How is overtime calculated for factory staff?

At the rate and divisor you set, so the figures in your Wages Board decision or your contracts are what Humanised applies. Poya and mercantile holiday work use the holiday rates.

Can we pay an attendance allowance or production incentive?

Yes. Set the rule, for example no absence and no late mark in the month, and the amount. Humanised adds it to the pay run for the staff who earned it.

What registers does it give for a Labour Department inspection?

The attendance register, overtime register and leave register, by employee, department or line, for any date range.

Our factory staff are on Wages Board leave and the office staff on the Shop and Office Act. Can both be set up?

Yes. Leave types and entitlements are set per employee group, so factory and office staff each get their own rules.

How much does it cost for a factory?

Small Business is LKR 25,000 a month for up to 50 employees; Enterprise is by quote above 50. Each connected terminal is an add-on of LKR 36,000 a year. No setup fee.
