# Payroll software that starts from attendance

> Run monthly or weekly payroll straight from attendance, leave and late marks. PF, ESI, PT and TDS, payslips with your logo, advances, and the bank, PF and ESIC files, from ₹0.50 per employee per day.

Staff Khata works out each salary from attendance, leave, holidays and late marks, so there is no month-end spreadsheet. Set the salary cycle and PF, ESI and gratuity once, give each employee a salary structure (fixed, variable or commission based, monthly or weekly), then generate payroll for a whole department in one click. You can correct and settle salaries, download payslips with your logo as PDF, record advances and reimbursements, and make the bank salary file, PF ECR, ESIC file and PT statement from the Payroll Dashboard.

Plan: Payroll is on the Growth plan at ₹0.50 per employee per day.
