Industries – Manufacturing

The Challenge

Manufacturing HR Runs on Precision

Manufacturing businesses operate with production-line precision. Shift schedules are critical operational documents. Attendance discipline directly affects output. Overtime must be tracked accurately and remain within MOM’s 72-hour monthly cap. Payroll for a mixed workforce of local staff, PRs and Work Permit holders must be processed correctly every month — including CPF at the right rates and SDL contributions.

🔄

Three-shift rotating rosters for production lines are complex to build and update — especially when staff are absent or production demand changes

⏰

Overtime tracking is manual, making it easy to exceed MOM’s 72-hour monthly cap without realising it — creating compliance risk

💰

Payroll for mixed workforce — SCs, PRs and Work Permit holders — requires different CPF rates and has no simple automated solution in most systems

📋

Shift handover records and attendance data exist on paper or in separate systems, making payroll reconciliation slow and error-prone

📍

Attendance on the factory floor is hard to digitise — traditional punch cards or sign-in registers create manual data entry work upstream

How UniqHRM Helps

Production-Ready HR for Manufacturing Teams

🔄

Rotating Shift Scheduling

Plan morning, afternoon and overnight production shifts with shift templates. Rotating rosters can be built once and repeated across pay periods. Managers see available headcount per shift and avoid scheduling conflicts with approved leave.

⚡

Overtime Tracking and MOM Cap Monitoring

Overtime hours are captured automatically from attendance data. HR managers can see cumulative OT hours per employee per month — and flag employees approaching MOM’s 72-hour cap before the limit is breached.

💰

Mixed Workforce Payroll

Manage payroll for Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents (with correct Year 1, 2 and 3 CPF rates) and foreign employees under Work Permits — all in one system. CPF, SDL and SHG contributions calculated automatically for each category.

📍

Mobile Attendance for the Factory Floor

Workers clock in from the mobile app at the start of their shift. Supervisors see a live headcount dashboard for their production line — and can flag unexpected absences immediately without waiting for an attendance report.

📊

Production Labour Cost Tracking

Break down total labour costs by shift, department and production line. Track actual hours versus budgeted hours, identify idle time and make better manpower planning decisions based on real data.

🏢

Multi-Entity Support

Manufacturing groups with multiple legal entities or production facilities can run separate payrolls under different company registrations from one UniqHRM account — with consolidated reporting across the group.
