OBS HR, Payroll, Attendance & Remote Monitoring

Description

HR, Indian payroll and attendance inside your WordPress

OBS HR, Payroll, Attendance & Remote Monitoring runs your people work from your own website: employees, leave, attendance with photo and GPS, projects, payroll with Indian statutory deductions, PDF payslips and a login-only employee portal. Your data stays on your server, and there is no per-employee fee.

For employees: one portal, nothing to install

• Login only: HR creates each account and the employee gets a “set your password” email. No sign-ups.
• Punch in and out with a live camera photo and location. Office desktops without GPS are recognised by the office network.
• Daily work log: hours and notes per project or task. Punch out and log out unlock only after the log is filled.
• Leave: balances, apply with the company’s notice rule (for example 7 days ahead), emergency leave with a written letter, and status updates.
• Holiday list, my tasks, payslip downloads, tax declaration, profile and documents. Works on phones and computers in Chrome or Edge.

For HR and owners

• Employees and documents: profiles, roles (employee, manager, HR admin), departments, office locations with geofence, shifts.
• Attendance: today’s board with punch photos and locations, register, monthly sheet, work-log reports by project, corrections with an audit trail.
• Leave: leave types with minimum notice, balances and carry forward, approvals by HR or managers.
• Projects and tasks: assign tasks to employees and see hours logged per project.
• Payroll: salary structures, monthly runs from attendance and leave, PDF payslips in bulk, and files for the bank, EPFO (ECR), ESI, professional tax, LWF, TDS working and a Tally payroll journal.
• Indian rules, kept current: PF with the ₹25,000 wage ceiling from 17 September 2026, ESI, professional tax and LWF for every state, TDS under both regimes as per the Income-tax Act 2025, and the Labour Codes 50% wages check. Every rate shows its source and can be overridden.
• Works with OBS GST Invoice & Billing: a payroll summary card on its dashboard, plus the Tally payroll journal for your accounts.

Screen monitoring, done transparently (Business and Growth plans)

• Runs only while an employee is punched in, through browser screen sharing of the entire screen, after the employee accepts a clear notice.
• Screenshots every 2 to 15 minutes, active and idle time, live view and short clips on request, with a “Monitoring is ON” banner always visible.
• Screenshots are deleted after 48 hours by default. Employees can see their own data, and every admin view is logged.
• No hidden mode, no keystroke logging, no webcam or audio, nothing outside working hours. Designed around India’s DPDP Act 2023.

Honest limits

• We calculate and prepare files; we do not file returns, pay challans or make bank payouts. Please check rates with your CA.
• Screen sharing needs a computer with Chrome or Edge. The browser asks the employee to pick the screen each time sharing starts, and a page reload or closed laptop stops it. Phones cannot share their screen.
• GPS can be faked by a determined user. The live photo, office network and HR flags make it harder, not impossible.
