Best Labour Attendance App in India: 10-Point Checklist (2026)
The best labour attendance app is the one you will actually use every day: it lets you mark hajri for your whole team in about a minute, works in your language, and turns attendance into correct wages, overtime and kharchi without extra work. Use this 10-point checklist to compare any labour attendance app before you choose.
The 10-point checklist
1. Daily hajri in seconds
You should be able to mark 50 workers in about a minute. If marking is slow, you will go back to paper.
2. Every type of hajri
Present, absent, half-day, double shift, overtime hours and fractional hajri (1.5, 2, 3.5) for contract work.
3. Proof against proxy attendance
Selfie check-in, GPS geo-fencing, face recognition or QR codes. See how to stop proxy attendance.
4. Self attendance
Staff should be able to mark their own attendance when you are not there. Read our self attendance guide.
5. Automatic wages
Daily wage, monthly salary and hourly pay, with half-days and overtime calculated for you.
6. Kharchi and advance tracking
Every advance recorded and deducted, with a running balance for each worker.
7. Salary slips and hajri cards on WhatsApp
Workers should see the same numbers you see. That ends most disputes.
8. Hindi and regional languages
The app should work comfortably in Hindi and your regional language, for you and your supervisors.
9. Multiple sites and supervisors
Site-wise attendance and supervisor access, if you run more than one location.
10. Free to start, fair to grow
A free start so you can test it, and pricing that grows sensibly with your team.
Red flags
- You need a computer to do basic things
- No half-day, double shift or overtime options
- Kharchi has to be tracked somewhere else
- No way to share records with workers
- English only
