Seasonal and contract headcount swings
Processing units and port operators scale staff up and down through the year. Onboarding, exits, and contractor payroll get tracked in separate files that never reconcile.

Why Mangaluru
HR Software Built for How Mangaluru Businesses Actually Work
Mangaluru runs on a mix that no other Karnataka city has. Heavy industry and petrochemicals around New Mangalore Port and Baikampady, IT and BPO teams in the city's tech parks, the headquarters and branch networks of banks that were founded here, and one of the densest hospital and college clusters in South India. Each needs a different shift, attendance, and payroll setup, but all of them file under the same Karnataka rules.
factoHR handles all of it from one login. Mangaluru HR teams get the same platform used by Bangalore companies, with pricing and onboarding sized for a 25-person clinic or a 1,500-person plant. Groups with a plant inland run their Mysuru workforce on the same system.

Common HR Problems
Where Payroll and HR Break Down for Mangaluru Employers
These are the issues Mangaluru HR and finance teams raise most often when they move off spreadsheets and standalone attendance machines.
Karnataka PT and LWF get missed
Professional Tax slabs, the February adjustment, and the June and December LWF deductions are easy to forget when payroll runs on Excel formulas.
24x7 shifts in hospitals and plants
Night duty, rotating rosters, and overtime under the Factories Act and the Karnataka Shops & Establishments Act are calculated differently by every department head.
Multi-branch teams across the coast
Staff spread across Mangaluru, Udupi, Manipal, and Kasaragod mark attendance in different ways. HR waits on every branch before payroll can close.

FAQs
HR Software in Mangaluru: Common Questions
Is factoHR available for companies in Mangaluru, or only Bangalore?
factoHR serves businesses across Karnataka, including Mangaluru, Udupi, and Manipal. Onboarding, training, and support are delivered remotely and on-site where needed. The platform is cloud-based, so there is no local server or installation.
Does the software handle Karnataka Professional Tax correctly?
Yes. Karnataka PT slabs are pre-configured. Employees earning Rs.25,000 or more per month are deducted Rs.200, with Rs.300 applied in February so the annual total reaches Rs.2,500. PT reports are prepared for filing on the e-PRERANA portal.
Can it manage contract and seasonal workers at a port or processing unit?
Yes. Contractor-wise payroll, seasonal joining and exit cycles, shift rosters, overtime, and night allowances are supported. Attendance can come from biometric devices, GPS, or mobile punches and is mapped to sites and shifts automatically.
What does HR software cost for a Mangaluru business?
Pricing is per employee per month and depends on the modules you switch on. Plans start at Rs.49 per employee per month. See the pricing page or book a demo for a quote based on your headcount.
How long does implementation take?
Most Mangaluru companies with under 500 employees go live within 2 to 4 weeks. Larger plants and hospitals with multiple attendance devices and contractor payroll may take 4 to 6 weeks including a parallel payroll run.
Can staff at branches in Udupi or Kasaragod use the same system?
Yes. Multi-location setups are standard. Each branch or site is configured with its own attendance source, shift rules, and approval chain, while HR runs one consolidated payroll. Kasaragod staff follow Kerala rules and can be handled in the same system with a separate state configuration.
