When Overtime Errors Cost More Than Money
For a brand built on precision and quality, payroll errors are a contradiction. Yet overtime calculation — with its dependency on variable attendance data, shifting work schedules, and manual entry — is one of the most error-prone areas in payroll.
In manufacturing and consumer goods environments, OT is common and volume is high. Small errors compound quickly. And unlike routine payroll, OT mistakes are visible to employees — directly affecting trust.
Why OT accuracy matters in consumer goods
Consumer product brands often run extended shifts during high-demand periods. Manual OT tracking across multiple shifts, employee categories, and applicable rates creates significant compliance and accuracy risk under India's Factories Act and Shops & Establishments regulations.
Complex, Error-Prone OT Calculations
Overtime calculations were complex and prone to manual errors, leading to inconsistencies in payments — particularly across varying shift types and employee categories.
No Automation, No Trust in Outcomes
Lack of automation made it difficult to ensure accuracy and maintain trust in payroll outcomes — without a system to validate OT data, errors were hard to detect before payment was processed.
High Administrative Effort
Managing varying work schedules and OT calculations manually increased administrative effort significantly — diverting HR and payroll teams from higher-value tasks.
Required Error-Free OT at Scale
A solution was required to deliver error-free OT calculation and payment processing at scale — one that could handle complexity reliably across every pay cycle without manual intervention.
