Hardware and paint shop
Staff attendance and salary app for a hardware shop
A hardware shop has heavy work in it, and heavy work is paid for by the day more often than by the month.
Who works in a hardware and paint shop
- One or two counter men who know the stock, monthly.
- Loaders who come when a truck comes, paid for the day.
- A driver for the delivery tempo, monthly with extra for long runs.
- A helper for cutting and mixing paint, weekly.
A mix: monthly for the men who know the shop, daily for loading. Loading days cluster around deliveries, so a month can have four busy days or twelve.
The argument this trade has
The loader says he came on eleven days this month. You think it was nine. Neither of you wrote down which days the truck actually came.
What matters most here
- Daily pay beside monthly pay The loader and the counter man in one shop.
- Marking the day Mark the loaders on the day the truck comes.
- What the month cost How much of your wage bill went on loading.
The numbers this trade knows
- A loader at ₹500 a day, two days in dispute, is ₹1,000 — every month, all year.
- A counter man on ₹14,000 a month is about ₹460 a day.

Questions people ask
Can I add somebody who works only some days?
Yes. Put him on daily pay and mark only the days he came. Days he did not come cost nothing.
Does it track deliveries or stock?
No. DailyPlus does staff today. Deliveries and stock are not part of it.
