unified staff departments shared with attendance and payroll
New feature shipped to Inkwelly— India's most actively developed school management software. This change is in production at real Indian schools today, not on a roadmap.
- HR: Schools now maintain Teaching, Admin, and Support staff departments in a single list with code, short name, colour, and display order. Per-department attendance behaviour — in/out timings, week-offs, work-from-home, short-leave rules, and leave approval chains — attaches to the same record. No more entering the same department twice for HR and attendance.
- Attendance: Configure each department's clock-in rules, weekly off pattern, and multi-level approver chain from a single screen, then assign staff from each employee's profile in the HR module. Useful for CBSE, ICSE, IB, and State board schools running multi-shift teaching and office operations.
- Codes: Department codes are uppercase-only (TEACH, ADMIN_OPS, PRE_PRIMARY) so they read cleanly in salary registers and Tally exports without manual cleanup.
This isn't a roadmap. It's already running in your competitor's school.
Every update on the Inkwelly changelog is in production at real Indian schools today. If you're tired of ERP vendors who promise features for “next quarter”, let's talk. We run a 90-day paid pilot with a pro-rata refund and full data export.
