Factories Act Compliance

Automated, Audit-Ready Factory Compliance with Groniva HRMS

The Factories Act, 1948 governs working hours, overtime, leave, safety, welfare, and employment conditions in manufacturing units. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, shutdown notices, inspections, and legal action.
Managing these requirements manually—across shifts, contractors, and large workforces—creates high operational risk.

Factories Act Compliance in Groniva HRMS provides a centralized, rule-driven, and audit-ready framework to ensure manufacturing organizations comply with statutory factory regulations consistently and continuously.

With Groniva, compliance is embedded into attendance, shifts, payroll, and workforce operations—not handled after the fact.

What is Factories Act Compliance in Groniva HRMS?

Factories Act Compliance is a statutory governance capability within Groniva HRMS that ensures factory establishments comply with key provisions of the Factories Act, including:
  • Working hours and spread-over limits
  • Weekly offs and compensatory offs
  • Overtime calculation and limits
  • Leave with wages
  • Employment of women and young workers
  • Statutory registers and inspection readiness
The system enforces compliance automatically through configured rules and validations.
