Payroll

Payroll that pays people correctly — from the attendance they already marked.

Most companies still run salary in a spreadsheet, then argue with employees about days, overtime and deductions. Bynarize Payroll reads the same attendance, leave and holidays your team already uses. You review the month, lock it, publish payslips, and employees download them themselves — including Form 16 for tax filing.

Real-world differentiator

Why most payroll tools fail — and how Bynarize fixes it.

Indian HR either lives in Excel, or buys a separate payroll product that never quite agrees with attendance. Bynarize runs salary from the same record your managers already approved — then gives employees a payslip they can actually understand.

What everyone else does

Salary lives in a spreadsheet; attendance lives in another tool

Why it actually hurts you

One missed LOP, one stale increment, one wrong week-off — and payday becomes a dispute

How Bynarize solves it

Payroll reads attendance, approved leave, holidays and week-offs from the same platform. No handoff sheet

What everyone else does

Deductions appear as mystery numbers on the slip

Why it actually hurts you

HR spends days answering "why did I get less?" instead of running the next cycle

How Bynarize solves it

Every earning and deduction carries a plain explanation, plus payable days and overtime the employee can see

What everyone else does

Overtime and holiday double-pay are calculated after the fact

Why it actually hurts you

Shop-floor promises drift from what finance actually pays

How Bynarize solves it

You set 1.5× / 2× rules once. The run applies them the same way for every eligible hour

What everyone else does

A new allowance needs a developer — or a hidden Excel column

Why it actually hurts you

Salary structures go stale; promotions wait; nobody trusts the CTC letter

How Bynarize solves it

HR adds pay heads and revises an employee with an effective date. Previous versions stay in history

What everyone else does

The same person calculates, signs off and can still change last month

Why it actually hurts you

No auditor will trust that register. Neither will employees

How Bynarize solves it

A second person approves. Lock is final. Corrections belong to the next period

What everyone else does

Payslips go out as email attachments — if they go out at all

Why it actually hurts you

March slips are missing, inboxes are full, and HR reprints PDFs all year

How Bynarize solves it

Employees download published payslips from self-service, with year-to-date beside them

What everyone else does

Form 16 is a year-end project with the CA

Why it actually hurts you

PAN gaps, missing months and last-minute PDFs delay filing for the whole company

How Bynarize solves it

Form 16 Part B and the annual salary statement are generated from locked months, then released to employees

What everyone else does

Bank file and salary register are rebuilt from the "final" Excel

Why it actually hurts you

What was paid and what the register shows quietly diverge

How Bynarize solves it

Register and bank file come from the locked run. One source. One set of numbers

Everyday headaches — gone

The month-end mess, gone.

Each one solved by payroll that is already in the platform — not a side spreadsheet.

HR spends the first week of every month chasing attendance, leave and a salary Excel that never matches.

Payroll reads present days, paid leave, LOP, holidays and week-offs from the same records your managers already approved. There is nothing left to copy-paste.

"Why is my salary less this month?" lands in HR inboxes every payday.

Every line on the payslip explains itself — payable days, overtime hours, holiday work, PF, professional tax. Employees can see it before they message you.

Overtime and holiday double-pay are "worked out later" and never match what was promised.

You set the rules once: normal overtime, week-off work, holiday work, cap per month. Payroll applies them the same way for every person, every cycle.

A new allowance or a promotion means waiting on IT — or adding a hidden column nobody documents.

HR defines pay heads — Basic, HRA, site allowance, PF, whatever you need. Each employee gets a salary that can be revised with a date and a reason. History is never overwritten.

Payroll is calculated by one person, signed off by the same person, and last month can still be edited.

One person runs it. A different person approves it. Once it is locked, that month cannot be quietly changed. Corrections go into the next cycle, the way auditors expect.

Payslips go out as PDFs on email — or not at all — and employees keep asking for last March.

Payslips are generated for the run, published, and sit in employee self-service. People download their own copy. Year-to-date is on the same page.

Form 16 season is a scramble of Excels, CA emails and missing PAN numbers.

When the financial year is closed, HR generates Form 16 Part B and an annual salary statement, then releases them so employees can download and file.

Finance waits for a bank file while HR is still "checking one more row".

After lock, you export the salary register and a bank transfer file from the same run. What you paid is what the register shows.

Factory, office and field staff cannot share one payroll rule — so you keep three spreadsheets.

You can set different attendance and overtime rules by department, location, designation or even a single employee — without splitting the payroll into separate products.

Someone joined mid-month or left mid-month and the first or last salary is always a fight.

Joiners and leavers are paid only for the days they were eligible. That is shown separately from LOP, so the payslip reads honestly.

Inside this category

What HR and employees actually use.

Salary structures HR owns — not a developer ticket

  • Define any pay head you use: Basic, HRA, conveyance, site allowance, overtime, PF, professional tax, TDS
  • India-ready starter pack so you are not designing a salary sheet from a blank page
  • Fixed amounts, a percentage of another head, a percentage of CTC, or a balancing figure that fills the rest of gross
  • New allowance next quarter? Add it. No waiting on a software change
  • Choose what appears on the employee payslip and what stays as a company cost line

A salary for each employee, with a history you can defend

  • Every person has an effective-dated salary — new joiner, increment, promotion or correction, each with a reason
  • Revisions close the previous version instead of overwriting it. Last year's CTC is still there
  • Bank, PAN, UAN, PF and ESIC live on the employee pay profile — account numbers stay hidden until someone with permission reveals them
  • Bulk-load salaries from Excel when you go live. Bad rows are reported. Good rows get saved
  • See who still has no salary, no bank details or a missing PAN before you start the month

Pay that follows attendance, leave and holidays

  • Present, half-day, paid leave, unpaid leave, holiday and week-off — classified the way HR already talks about a month
  • LOP is taken only where it should be. Joiners and leavers lose pay as "not yet / no longer eligible", not as punishment
  • You choose how the month is counted: calendar days, a 30-day month, or working days
  • Preview one employee and one month before you run payroll for everyone
  • Pending attendance corrections can block or warn a run so you do not pay on incomplete data

Overtime and holiday work — paid as you promised

  • Normal overtime, week-off work and holiday work each get their own rate — typically 1.5× or 2×, the way Indian shop floors expect
  • A monthly overtime cap so extra hours do not silently blow the wage bill
  • Holiday or week-off extra-day pay when people work a rest day — without paying the same hour twice
  • Rules can differ for office, plant and field teams
  • Overtime hours and amount show on the payslip so nobody has to reverse-engineer them

Run payroll. Review it. Approve it. Lock it.

  • Start a monthly run. Salary is calculated for everyone with an active structure
  • Exceptions come up before you pay: missing salary, missing bank, negative net, no attendance, overtime above cap
  • Open any employee and see earnings, deductions, payable days and the day-by-day month
  • The person who ran payroll is not the only person who can sign it off
  • Lock the month. After that, last month is a record — not a file someone can still "just tweak"

Payslips people download themselves

  • A branded PDF for each employee: earnings, deductions, payable days, overtime, net pay in words
  • Publish the batch when you are ready. Unpublished slips stay invisible
  • Employees open My Salary Slips, download this month, last year, or any published period
  • Year-to-date sitting next to the month cards — gross, deductions and net so far this financial year
  • Optional notify when the slip is ready. No more "please send my March payslip" emails

Form 16 and the year-end pack employees actually need

  • Form 16 Part B annexure — salary breakup, exemptions, professional tax, TDS deducted, month-wise table
  • Annual salary statement for the financial year, tied to the months you already locked
  • HR generates, then releases. Employees only see what you have released
  • Missing PAN is flagged before you send people a document they cannot file with
  • Form 16 Part A (the TRACES certificate) still comes from the government portal after you file TDS — we are explicit about that, so nobody is surprised

Salary register, bank file and month-on-month view

  • Salary register from the locked run — the document finance and auditors ask for
  • Bank transfer file so accounts can pay from the same numbers you just signed off
  • Variance against last month so a sudden jump in one person's net does not hide
  • Overtime, LOP and employer-cost views for the month
  • Mark the run paid with a payment reference when money has actually moved
Why teams pick us

What makes our payroll different.

1
Payroll is not a second product

Attendance, leave, holidays and salary live in one system. There is no export to a payroll vendor, no "final attendance sheet", no two versions of the truth on payday.

2
Every rupee can be explained

Payable days, overtime hours, holiday work, PF, tax — each line carries a plain note. Employees stop guessing. HR stops defending a formula nobody can find.

3
See the month before you pay the month

Preview one person against your overtime and LOP rules. Then run everyone. Exceptions surface before lock, not after the bank file has gone.

4
Approve, then lock — for real

Maker is not checker. Once locked, that cycle cannot be edited. The register you export is the register you can stand behind in an audit.

5
Payslips and Form 16 without a mail merge

People download their own slips and year-end documents from self-service. HR publishes. Finance is not a PDF factory.

6
Enterprise control, HR language

Pay heads you configure, rules by location or department, masked bank details, a signed-off ledger. Built for Indian month-close — not a US-only payroll bolted on.

Frequently asked

Payroll — questions buyers actually ask.

Bynarize includes native payroll. You define salary, run the month from attendance and leave, lock it, publish payslips, and give employees Form 16 Part B plus an annual salary statement. You do not need a second payroll product for the monthly cycle. Government filings such as PF ECR, ESI challan and TDS 24Q still go through your CA or the official portals — we give you the register and the documents employees need, honestly labelled.

From the employee's salary structure and the month they actually worked. Present days, paid leave, unpaid leave, holidays, week-offs, overtime and holiday work are classified first. Pay heads are then applied — prorated where you have said they should be. Overtime uses the rates you configured. The result is a draft you review before anyone is paid.

Yes. You set rates for normal overtime, week-off and holiday work — typically 1.5× or 2× — plus a monthly cap if you need one. You can also pay an extra day when someone works a rest day. Different departments or locations can follow different rules.

Open their line in the run (or they open their own payslip). Each amount has a short note — payable days, overtime hours, PF, professional tax, TDS. HR answers with the payslip, not with a reconstructed Excel.

Yes. After you lock and publish, employees see monthly salary slips in self-service, download the PDF, and see year-to-date for the financial year. They only see their own slips.

Yes — Form 16 Part B (the salary annexure employees need to file) and an annual salary statement, generated from locked months and released by HR. Form 16 Part A, which carries the TRACES certificate number, is still downloaded by the employer from the TRACES portal after TDS is filed. We state that up front so finance is never sold a document only government can issue.

Yes. HR maintains the pay-head list. You can start from a typical India set (Basic, HRA, conveyance, PF, professional tax, TDS) and add site allowance, special allowance or anything else you pay. New heads are configuration, not a software project.

You create a new salary version with an effective date and a reason. The previous version closes the day before. Locked months keep using what was actually paid. You never silently edit history.

Yes. After approval, lock is permanent for that month. There is no "unlock and fix". If something was wrong, you correct it in the next period — which is what keeps the register trustworthy.

Yes. Attendance and overtime rules can sit at company default, or on a department, location, designation or individual. Office staff and plant staff do not have to share one overtime policy.

PF can be a percentage of basic with a ceiling — the way most Indian companies start. Professional tax and monthly TDS can be entered per employee. Full automatic tax-regime engines and statutory return files (24Q, ECR, ESI challan) are not claimed here; your CA still files with the government. What we do is make the monthly numbers explainable, locked and ready for that filing.

Yes. Download a template, fill employee codes and pay heads, validate, then commit. Rows that fail are listed with a reason; the rest are saved. You can also set bank and statutory numbers in the same import.
