Payroll software for garment factories and small manufacturers in Bangladesh
Salary structures with payheads, overtime, advances and deductions, processed in a period with approve, disburse and finalise steps. Payslips print as PDF and the salary sheet is ready for the bank.
In a garment unit payroll is the largest recurring transaction in the business and the one with the least tolerance for delay. Several hundred people, overtime that varies by line and by day, and a date that does not move.
The work is almost entirely in getting attendance right before the run starts. Punches from devices at the gate, corrections for the days someone forgot, approved leave and overtime all have to be settled first, which is why attendance that syncs continuously matters more than payroll features do.
What goes wrong for garment factories
Everyday problems in this trade, from the industry guide.
-
Salary sheet built in Excel
Attendance is exported from the device, overtime is added by hand, and advances and deductions are remembered. One wrong cell and the whole floor knows by lunchtime on payday.
-
Overtime and shifts hard to prove
Buyers and auditors ask for attendance and overtime records. When punches, shift rosters and pay live in different files, producing a clean record for a compliance audit takes days.
-
Attendance devices not connected
The ZKTeco machine at the gate stores punches locally. Someone downloads them with a pen drive, and late or missing downloads mean disputed attendance and delayed pay for everyone.
-
Purchases and stock untracked
Fabric, trims, thread and machine spares are bought on request and issued without records. Nobody knows what is in the store or what the last supplier charged for the same item.

What you get
The parts of HR & Payroll that matter most here.
-
ZKTeco biometric attendance
Register ZKTeco devices per office. A lightweight sync agent, installed as a Windows service or on Linux, reads punches over the LAN and pushes them to SORS ERP on a schedule, so attendance appears without manual entry.
-
Shifts, corrections and overtime
Define shift schedules and assign them to staff, approve attendance corrections when someone forgets to punch, and calculate overtime from actual hours. Punctuality analysis shows who is habitually late by department.
-
Payroll run with approval
Generate payroll for a period, review the entries, then approve, disburse and finalize as separate steps. Disbursement creates bank transfer records per employee, and the salary sheet exports for your bank or accountant.
-
Salary structures and payheads
Build salary structures from components such as basic, house rent, medical and conveyance, assign them to employees, and add allowances or deductions per person. Salary advances are recovered from later payroll runs.
-
Income tax by slab
Configure income tax slabs per financial year following the NBR circular, record employee tax declarations, and let payroll deduct tax each month. Deductions are tracked so remittance to the government is a report, not a hunt.
-
PDF payslips by email
Generate payslips for the whole period at once, download them as PDFs or email them to staff individually or in bulk. Final settlement handles leavers with outstanding dues and advances.
A working day for garment factories
The sequence this trade actually runs, from the industry guide.
-
Workers punch in at the gate
ZKTeco punches sync to the ERP through the LAN agent. Late arrivals, absences and shift mismatches show up on the attendance dashboard the same morning.
-
Supervisors approve overtime and leave
Overtime entries and leave applications go through the approval workflow. Corrections to attendance are recorded with a reason and an audit trail.
-
Store issues materials against requisitions
Requisitions are finalised into purchase orders where needed, goods are received with a GRN, and store stock updates for fabric, trims and spares.
-
Payroll is processed for the period
Salary structures, attendance, overtime, advances and tax slabs produce the payroll. It moves through process, approve, disburse and finalise, and payslips are generated.
-
Accounts close the month
Payroll, purchases and expenses have posted automatically. Bank reconciliation is done, the period is locked and the Mushak return summary is reviewed.
Questions
Answered plainly, including where the answer is no.
How does attendance reach payroll?
A LAN sync agent pushes punches from ZKTeco devices to the cloud continuously, so attendance, shifts, overtime and corrections are already in place when the payroll period is processed rather than being exported to Excel at month end.
Is income tax deduction handled?
Yes. Tax slabs are configurable per financial year, with employee declarations, and deduction happens inside the payroll run rather than as a separate calculation.
