Payroll for 40 staff. 90 seconds.

Most Pakistani schools process payroll using a combination of a paper attendance register, a salary spreadsheet, and a calculator. Every month, the accounts team manually adds up working days, subtracts absent days, applies allowances, calculates loan installments, checks for any substitute days, and types out salary slips. For 40 staff members, this takes 6–8 hours. Errors are common — a staff member paid Rs 200 too much creates a reconciliation problem; one paid too little creates a trust problem. Neither situation is recoverable quickly when the spreadsheet is shared over WhatsApp.

Kliovo Edu's HR and payroll module connects staff attendance (via facial recognition and geofenced clock-in) directly to the payroll calculation. There are no timesheets. There is no manual transfer of attendance data to a salary spreadsheet. When the month ends, the system already knows every staff member's working days, absent days, late arrivals, approved leaves, substitute days worked, and loan installments due. You review the payroll summary, confirm it, and click process. The entire cycle for 40 staff takes 90 seconds.

Salary structures in Kliovo Edu handle the full complexity of Pakistani academy compensation: basic salary, HRA allowance, medical allowance, conveyance, EOBI (Rs 370/month employer contribution), PESSI (for Punjab-based academies), and income tax where applicable. Loans are issued in the system — a staff member borrows Rs 30,000, an installment amount is configured, and that installment automatically deducts from every subsequent payroll run until the loan is fully settled. No separate loan register, no chance of forgetting an installment.

Salary slips are WhatsApp'd to each staff member the moment payroll is processed. Staff no longer need to come to the office to collect slips or wait for the accounts team to distribute them. The bank transfer file — a formatted CSV that uploads directly to your bank's corporate portal — downloads in one click. One download, one upload to the bank, and all salaries are transferred. The substitute pay calculation is automatic: if a teacher covered 3 substitute sessions in October, those sessions are pulled from the substitution records and the additional pay is included in October payroll.
