✨ Game-Changing Best Practices
1. 📱 Implement Digital Work Tracking
Ditch the paper records! Use digital systems to track every piece of work assigned to each karigar. This includes:
- • Work order details: What piece, specifications, expected completion time
- • Material allocation: Gold/silver weight, stones assigned
- • Progress updates: Regular check-ins on work status
- • Completion records: Final weight, quality assessment, time taken
Pro Tip: Use voice-to-text features to quickly log updates without interrupting workflow!
2. 💰 Transparent Payment System
Build trust with clear, automated payment calculations based on actual work completed:
Rate Structure
- • Per gram rates for different work types
- • Bonus rates for quality work
- • Rush order premiums
- • Penalty deductions for delays/rework
Payment Tracking
- • Real-time earning calculations
- • Advance payment records
- • Final settlement breakdowns
- • Historical payment data
Result: Zero payment disputes and happier karigars who know exactly what they're earning!
