01Third-party payroll management for PSUs & enterprises

Bring non-regular workforce management into one governed environment.

Managing a non-regular workforce can be complex for PSUs and large enterprises. Technical consultants, specialized professionals, security personnel, facility teams and other contractual workers may work within the organization while remaining outside its regular employee payroll.

It brings together attendance, deployment, payroll, vendor billing, KYC and statutory compliance while keeping third-party liabilities separate from the organization's internal payroll.

The solution provides organizations with greater control over who is deployed, how attendance is recorded, how payments are calculated and whether vendors have fulfilled their statutory obligations.

02Third-party payroll & Master HRMS integration

Maintain centralized workforce visibility without merging payroll liabilities.

Third-party workers operate within the organization, but their payroll and contractual liabilities often remain outside the organization's internal HR systems. CSII addresses this gap through a Dual-Engine Architecture.

Dual-Engine Architecture

The dedicated third-party payroll solution operates independently while synchronizing essential workforce information with the Master HRMS.

  • Daily attendance synchronization
  • Workforce deployment metrics
  • Employee and contractor rosters
  • Headcount visibility
  • Centralized workforce reporting
  • Independent third-party payroll environment
  • Separate contractual liabilities
  • Unified management visibility

Centralized visibility

Daily attendance, deployment metrics, rosters, headcount and other relevant workforce information can flow into the central HRMS, giving management a unified view.

Independent governance

Third-party payroll structures and contractual liabilities remain separate from regular employee payroll, enabling centralized workforce visibility with independent third-party payroll governance.

03Automated attendance-based payroll & contractor billing

Connect actual workforce deployment with verified payment.

Accurate attendance is at the heart of third-party payroll and contractor billing. When payments are based on deployed manpower, discrepancies between actual attendance and submitted bills can create financial leakage, disputes and governance concerns.

Verify attendance before calculating payments

CSII connects attendance and deployment information with payroll and billing processes to establish a verified attendance record.

  • Biometric integration
  • GPS-geotagged mobile attendance
  • Shift roster management
  • Leave tracking
  • Attendance-based fee calculation
  • Consultant stipend calculation
  • Bank payout file generation
  • Monthly contractor bill generation
  • Shift allowance calculation
  • Overtime calculation
  • Applicable penalty clauses

For consultants & specialized professionals

The system can calculate fees or stipends based on attendance and generate bank payout files.

For manpower & security agencies

Monthly bills can be generated from verified attendance and contractual rates, including shift allowances, overtime and applicable penalty clauses.

04Vendor KYC, compliance & statutory verification

Create a structured compliance trail from vendor onboarding to invoice processing.

Vendor governance goes beyond onboarding an agency and processing its invoices. Organizations also need visibility into vendor documentation, licenses, statutory deposits and contractual validity.

Supplier & Worker KYC Portal

CSII's Supplier & Worker KYC Portal enables digital onboarding and tracking of important vendor and worker information.

  • GSTIN management
  • PAN management
  • Bank detail verification
  • Labor license tracking
  • Contract validity tracking
  • Supplier onboarding
  • Worker KYC records
  • Statutory documentation

Statutory Audit Engine

  • EPF processes
  • ESI processes
  • LWF processes
  • TDS-related processes
  • GST-related processes
  • Labor Code adherence support

Structured compliance governance

The platform includes a Statutory Audit Engine covering EPF, ESI, LWF, TDS and GST-related processes, along with support for adherence to India's updated Labor Codes, subject to applicable law and configuration.

This creates a structured compliance trail from vendor onboarding to statutory verification and invoice processing.

05Smart Bill-Lock & automated invoice verification

Put compliance verification directly inside the vendor billing workflow.

One of the key governance challenges in contractor management is ensuring that vendor invoices are supported by verified attendance and statutory compliance.

CSII introduces a Smart Bill-Lock Mechanism that places compliance verification directly into the billing workflow. The vendor uploads relevant statutory deposit receipts, such as EPF, ESI and GST challans, and the Statutory Audit Engine verifies the submitted challans before the invoice is unlocked for payment.

Controlled payment sequence

The system begins with verified attendance, generates the bill according to attendance and contractual terms, receives statutory challans from the vendor and validates them before payment authorization.

Stronger vendor payment controls

By embedding verification into the billing process, organizations can reduce manual checking and strengthen their vendor payment controls.

06Third-party worker mobile app & self-service

Extend the governed workforce record directly to workers.

Third-party workers are often dependent on supervisors or manpower agencies for attendance, documentation, payroll queries and contract-related information.

Mobile self-service for third-party workers

CSII extends the governed workforce record directly to workers through a mobile self-service application.

  • GPS-geotagged attendance
  • KYC document upload
  • KYC document updates
  • Payroll-related grievances
  • Salary credit notifications
  • Contract tenure notifications
  • Document expiry notifications
  • Roster change notifications
  • Traceable worker actions

Direct communication

The mobile application creates a direct and traceable communication channel between the deployed workforce and the host organization.

Reduced routine queries

It helps reduce routine queries reaching HR and vendors while ensuring that grievances and worker-related actions have a documented trail.

07Executive dashboards, workforce visibility & audit readiness

Give decision-makers a single view of workforce, financial and compliance status.

Managing a large contractual workforce requires more than processing payroll. Decision-makers need visibility into workforce deployment, vendor compliance, budgets, attendance and audit information.
