Farm labour attendance register and daily wages on your phone

Keeping track of multiple workers, daily dihari rates, half-days, and seasonal advances (peshgi) is hard in a paper notebook. ZaraiOS gives Pakistani farmers a clean offline labour attendance register: mark daily attendance, log payments, and know exactly what you owe each worker.

  • Daily dihari, contract & monthly pay
  • Advances (peshgi) & balance owed
  • Works without internet in the field

How it works

From daily attendance to the seasonal labour khata

Whether you hire five daily workers for weeding or have a permanent tube-well operator, ZaraiOS keeps attendance and wage balances straight.

  1. 1

    Add workers or enter worker count

    Record attendance by simple worker count (e.g. 6 labourers at Rs 1,200) or add worker names to maintain individual ledgers.

  2. 2

    Mark daily attendance (full or half day)

    Choose full day, half day, or multiple days. Set the daily dihari rate once; the app remembers your last rate.

  3. 3

    Record advances (peshgi) & payments

    When giving money before work or paying at the weekend, tap Pay. Advances show clearly without duplicating crop costs.

  4. 4

    Check who you owe and total labour costs

    See total wages owed across all labourers and exact labour expense per crop, per stage, and per acre in your report.

Labour features

Everything for farm labour attendance and hisab

Built specifically for the way farming labour works in Pakistan.

Daily dihari (Rozana dihari)

Log daily workers with per-day rates, full days or half days (aadha din). Perfect for sowing, weeding (godi) and irrigation turns.

Advances & peshgi hisab

Track money paid in advance. ZaraiOS credits the worker ledger so you never double-count advances as new crop expenses.

Contract work (Theka mazdoori)

Fixed-amount contract jobs for onion transplanting (paneri), cotton picking (chunayee), or wheat harvesting per acre or per kanal.

Monthly workers (Mahana mulazim)

Set monthly salaries for permanent farm hands or tube-well drivers. Record monthly wages with one tap and assign to crops.

Named worker ledger (Hazri register)

Give regular workers their own account (khata): see days worked this season, payments made, and current balance owed.

Cost per acre breakdown

Labour expenses automatically feed your crop reports, showing total labour days and exact labour cost per acre.

Example: Seasonal Labour Register & Khata

How daily attendance and partial payments build a clear worker ledger. (Example figures only).

Worker / TaskAttendance & rateAdvances & balance owed
Gul Khan (Daily dihari) 8 full days @ Rs 1,400 = Rs 11,200 Paid Rs 8,000 · Owed Rs 3,200
Akbar Ali (Daily dihari) 6 full days, 2 half days @ Rs 1,200 = Rs 8,400 Paid Rs 8,400 · Cleared (Rs 0)
Bibi Zainab & team (Contract theka) 4 kanals onion transplanting = Rs 16,000 Peshgi Rs 6,000 · Owed Rs 10,000
Sher Ali (Monthly tubewell) Monthly salary = Rs 18,000 / month Advance Rs 5,000 · Balance Rs 13,000
Harvest gang (Group count) 12 workers × 1 day @ Rs 1,500 = Rs 18,000 Paid same day in cash · Rs 0

Total labour cost: Rs 71,600. Total balance owed: Rs 26,200. Figures are examples only: ZaraiOS never assumes wage rates.

Farm labour & attendance questions

Can I use ZaraiOS as a daily mazdoor hazri register app?

Yes. You can record daily attendance with a quick worker count, or tick names from your saved worker list for full or half days.

How does the app handle half-day (aadha din) dihari?

When logging daily dihari, simply tap Half day. The app automatically calculates half of that worker’s daily wage rate.

How do advances (peshgi) work without doubling crop costs?

When you give an advance, it is recorded in the worker’s ledger. The actual crop cost is recorded on the day work occurs, so advances never duplicate your expenses.

Can I record contract work (theka mazdoori) like harvesting or nursery transplanting?

Yes. Choose "Contract" instead of "Per day", and enter either a lump-sum amount or a rate per kanal or acre.

Can I track monthly wages for permanent farm workers?

Yes. Set a monthly salary on the worker’s profile. Each month, one tap logs the wage and assigns it to a crop or shared farm cost.

Does ZaraiOS work offline when marking attendance in remote fields?

Yes. All attendance marking, wage logging, and ledger updates work completely offline on Android without cellular signal.

Can I export or share a labour payment statement with a worker?

Yes. You can review individual worker summaries with all work dates and payments directly on your phone.

Does ZaraiOS set or recommend daily wage rates for Pakistan?

No. Wage rates vary across districts and seasons. The app remembers your last entered rate for convenience, but never dictates rates.
