Manufacturing staffing supplies machine operators, fitters, welders and helpers to factory lines, usually as contract labour under a principal employer. Skill bands are wide, shifts run around the clock, and the Factories Act adds its own duties.
These are the roles this vertical staffs most, each on its own minimum-wage band. Open a role to see its wage across states.
Contract manufacturing staff are covered by the state minimum-wage schedule for their skill, plus PF, ESI, the Contract Labour Act and the Factories Act. Skilled trades are paid a grade above helpers, overtime is at twice the ordinary rate, and the factory as principal employer is liable for the contractor's compliance.
ZeniaHR maps each trade to its skill band and state rate, captures multi-shift attendance and overtime, runs PF, ESI, PT and LWF, keeps the CLRA registers, and invoices each factory contract separately. Onboarding, attendance, leave, employee self-service, ID cards and reports sit in one system, so your team stops stitching spreadsheets together.
Unlike a generic HRMS, ZeniaHR is built for one industry, yours. For a manufacturing staffing operation that means the workflows already understand a machine operator, fitter, welder mix on different skill bands, per-client sites billed separately, and the minimum-wage revisions that hit every six months. You start free for your first 100 workers, then pay per worker as you grow, so the cost tracks your actual deployment rather than a fixed licence.
Fitters, welders and operators are skilled or highly-skilled, paid above unskilled helpers at the notified state rate. ZeniaHR applies the right band per role.
Yes. Contract staff on factory premises are covered by Factories Act duties on hours and safety, alongside PF, ESI and the Contract Labour Act.
ZeniaHR checks every worker against the right state wage, runs PF, ESI, PT and LWF, and invoices each client separately. Free for your first 100 workers.
