Why does the Principal Employer need to track contractor compliance?

In India, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act and EPF/ESI Acts stipulate that if a contractor defaults on paying wages or statutory contributions, the burden falls on the Principal Employer. Tracking this compliance proactively protects your company from sudden legal penalties and financial liabilities.

Can vendors access our main company data?

No. Vendors are provided access to a strictly isolated "Vendor Portal." They can only view and manage the specific workers they have supplied to your company, ensuring complete data privacy for your internal employees and other vendors.

How does this module stop vendor overbilling?

By capturing worker attendance directly via your site's biometric devices or supervisor apps, you create an objective "single source of truth." When the vendor submits their invoice, the system automatically flags if they are billing for days a worker was absent or for unauthorized overtime.

A simple, step-by-step workflow engineered to save you time and eliminate manual paperwork.

Vendors Onboard Workers

Contractors log into their portal to register their workers, uploading necessary KYC and police verification documents.

Track Daily Attendance

Workers punch in at your site gates. The system logs exact working hours and overtime for accurate billing.

Vendors Submit Proofs

At month-end, vendors generate invoices and must upload their statutory payment challans (EPF/ESI) for the period.

Verify & Pay

Your compliance team verifies the challans, finance verifies the attendance match, and the clean invoice is approved for payment.
