Accurate payroll for hourly and shift workers

In the manufacturing industry, teams often work different shifts, with overtime and variable schedules based on production. Runa is designed to handle these payment structures, allowing you to manage employees under any payment scheme. This ensures payroll is accurate and consistent even in complex production environments.

Advanced attendance and schedule control

Manufacturing companies operate with teams working different shifts, night shifts, and variable plant hours, making accurate attendance tracking essential for operations. With Runa, you can log schedules, manage shifts, and ensure all information is correctly reflected in the payroll.

Clock-in and clock-out from the mobile app with GPS verification

Employees can clock in and out from their phones, and GPS confirms they are at the correct plant or facility location.

Sick leave and vacation management

Employees can easily request sick leave or vacations, while managers maintain visibility over team availability.

Automatic calculation of overtime and shifts

Runa automatically calculates overtime or additional shifts to ensure every employee receives the correct payment without manual processes.

Advanced attendance and schedule control

Fast hiring and onboarding for high-turnover teams

Manufacturing companies often constantly hire production operators, technicians, and plant staff, especially when demand grows or new production lines open. With Runa, you can onboard new employees digitally and centrally, managing contracts and documents in one place. Additionally, Runa allows you to register employees with the IMSS via IDSE individually or through bulk uploads without leaving the platform, helping you incorporate staff quickly while meeting legal requirements.
