Skill-based wage rates
Set daily wages per district and per skill for both direct and contract labour. Rates auto-fill everywhere, so a mason in one district is never accidentally paid another district's rate.
Wages & Payroll
Worker wage management, from attendance to payout
Mark attendance once and the wage calculates itself — at the right skill rate, for the right district, on the right date. Advances, contractor headcount and casual labour all land in the same payroll, so what you pay out matches what was actually worked.

What you get
Every kind of labour, one payroll
Indian sites do not have one workforce — they have directly-employed staff, contractor-supplied gangs and casual day-labour, each paid differently. CrewSense handles all three without a separate register for each.
Rates that respect the date
Wages are priced using the rate effective on each day worked. A mid-month increase applies from its effective date forward and never silently re-prices days already worked.
Staff, contractor and casual
Directly-employed workers are marked Present, Absent or Half-day. Contractor-supplied labour is recorded as a headcount per skill. Casual day-labour is an anonymous headcount. Each feeds its own payroll tab.
Advances tracked to settlement
Record an advance against a worker or contractor, see what is outstanding, and have it deducted from net payable automatically. Nothing is remembered informally.
Net payable, calculated
Gross from days present at the correct rate, minus advances, minus what is already disbursed. The number you pay is the number the system arrived at, and every figure drills down to the days behind it.
Exports and payslips
Export the period as Excel or PDF and share over WhatsApp — the way most site offices already send records.
How it works
Attendance today, payroll on time
No double entry: the attendance a site engineer marks is the same data the payroll is built from.
-
1
Set your wage rates once
Per district, per skill, for direct and contract labour. Rates carry an effective date, so increases are scheduled rather than retrofitted.
-
2
Mark attendance on site
Workers as Present, Absent or Half-day; contractor gangs as a headcount per skill with a full or half-day toggle; casual labour as a headcount.
-
3
Record advances as they happen
An advance is logged against the worker or contractor with a note and who recorded it — not on a slip of paper.
-
4
Review the period
Filter by month, week or a custom window, and by project. Wages remaining, wages paid and advances outstanding are the three totals at the top.
-
5
Disburse and export
Record the disbursement with mode and period covered. Export to Excel or PDF for the office, or share it on WhatsApp.
Why wage disputes usually start
Almost every labour wage dispute on an Indian site traces back to the same three gaps: attendance recorded on paper that nobody can produce a month later, a rate that was agreed verbally and remembered differently by each side, and an advance that was handed over and never written down.
CrewSense closes all three by making the record a by-product of the daily routine. Attendance is marked on the phone at the site, so it carries a date and the person who marked it. The rate is not a memory — it is the district and skill rate that was effective on that date. An advance is recorded against a name the moment it is given.
When the payout is questioned, the answer is a screen showing every day worked, the rate applied to each day and every advance deducted — not an argument about what someone remembers.
FAQ
Common questions
What is worker wage management software?
It turns daily attendance into an accurate payout: applying the correct skill and district wage rate to each day worked, deducting advances already given, and tracking what has been disbursed. CrewSense does this for directly-employed staff, contractor-supplied headcount and casual day-labour in one place.
Can it handle contractor labour as well as our own workers?
Yes, and they are handled differently because they are paid differently. Your own workers are marked Present, Absent or Half-day individually. Contractor labour is recorded as a headcount per skill against the contractor, priced at that contractor's agreed skill rate, and reported separately.
How are different wage rates for different districts handled?
Wage rates are set per district and per skill, for both direct and contract labour, and auto-fill when attendance is marked. A site in one district never picks up another district's rate.
What happens if a wage rate changes mid-month?
Each day is priced at the rate that was effective on that date. An increase applies from its effective date forward and does not re-price days already worked, so a mid-period change never silently alters last week's wages.
Are advances deducted automatically?
Advances are recorded against the worker or contractor when given, shown as outstanding, and deducted from net payable. You can see exactly which advances were applied to a payout and which are still outstanding.
Can I export the payroll for my accountant?
Yes — Excel or PDF for any period, filtered by project if needed, and shareable over WhatsApp. Every total drills down to the days and rates behind it.
