University payroll is not corporate payroll. You have tenured professors on 7th Pay Commission scales, guest lecturers paid per hour, and research fellows funded by DST and UGC grants — all in one institution. CampusAlly handles every one of them, automatically.
From tenured professor to visiting lecturer to research fellow — CampusAlly handles the full complexity of higher education payroll.
One system for every contract type your university has — from permanent professors to part-time visiting lecturers to contract non-teaching staff.
The biggest payroll headache in any funded research institution — solved. Allocate salaries across multiple grant sources with audit-ready utilization certificates.
Zero manual data entry between attendance and payroll. What biometric devices record at 9 AM directly determines what appears on the payslip at month-end.
Every statutory obligation handled automatically — challans generated, TDS calculated, Form-16 produced, and arrears computed at scale. Audit-proof from day one.
Eliminate the queue at the accounts office. Faculty and staff access every payroll document they need — from their phone, anytime, without raising a request.
No more Excel sheets at month-end. CampusAlly calculates visiting faculty pay from timetable data directly.
Tally, GreytHR, and Keka handle corporate payroll. CampusAlly handles the complexity of academic institutions.
