School payroll software: beyond the salary PDF

If “payroll” only means a payslip PDF, you will still live in Excel for EPF season. Here is what to demand — and how Acadovia approaches school payroll inside the ERP.

What school payroll software should produce

Salary structures that match your school’s reality (not only corporate templates)
EPF ECR-shaped outputs, not “we’ll help you type the portal”
ESI / TDS artefacts when those apply to your staff mix
Audit trail on overrides
Clear who can run payroll vs only view payslips

Buyer mantra from our guide: show me the ECR, not only the slip.

How Acadovia helps

Payroll and compliance tooling sits inside Acadovia’s module set so staff records are not a second product. Schools should still validate a sample run with their accountant. Modules: modules. Price: payroll is not a surprise SKU on Standard — ₹5/student/month after free month covers the plan’s unlocked modules; confirm your enabled set with us on onboarding.

Boundaries

We are not your payroll consultant for every state nuance. Statutory filings remain the school’s and CA’s responsibility. Software should reduce re-keying and produce files you can defend.
