Platform

Everything payroll operations need in one place

Employee master, salary structures, monthly runs, statutory filings, payslips and GL journals — designed for maker-checker workflows and complete auditability.

Employee & compensation

Multi-employment types, versioned salary structures, and effective-dated revisions that never overwrite history.

Payroll processing

Attendance + leave integration, arrears, LOP and OT handled by a rule-versioned calculation engine.

Indian compliance

EPF, ESIC, Professional Tax (WB), TDS old & new regime, gratuity, bonus and LWF — all seeded for FY 2025-26.

Payslips

Compliant PDF payslips with QR verification. No payslip generated when salary and stipend are both zero.

Statutory returns

EPFO ECR, ESIC returns, PT registers, Form 24Q and Form 16 generated and tracked in one place.

Reports & dashboards

100+ operational and statutory registers with drill-through into runs, employees and cost centers.

Payroll accounting

Automatic journal creation, cost centre allocation and GL export ready for your finance ledger.

Approvals & audit

Maker-checker workflow, immutable finalized runs and complete before/after audit trail.

Global-ready

Plug-in country engines mean UK, US or SG can join the same platform without redesigning core payroll.

India-first compliance

Statutory rules — seeded and versioned for FY 2025-26

Every rate, ceiling and slab is stored as a version with an effective window. Historic payroll always reproduces its filing because the engine resolves the rule that was live on the pay period's end date.
