One system of record for compensation, statutory compliance, taxation and payroll accounting. India-first — EPFO, ESIC, Professional Tax (WB), TDS, gratuity, bonus — with a plug-in country engine for global expansion.
Platform
Employee master, salary structures, monthly runs, statutory filings, payslips and GL journals — designed for maker-checker workflows and complete auditability.
Multi-employment types, versioned salary structures, and effective-dated revisions that never overwrite history.
Attendance + leave integration, arrears, LOP and OT handled by a rule-versioned calculation engine.
EPF, ESIC, Professional Tax (WB), TDS old & new regime, gratuity, bonus and LWF — all seeded for FY 2025-26.
Compliant PDF payslips with QR verification. No payslip generated when salary and stipend are both zero.
EPFO ECR, ESIC returns, PT registers, Form 24Q and Form 16 generated and tracked in one place.
100+ operational and statutory registers with drill-through into runs, employees and cost centers.
Automatic journal creation, cost centre allocation and GL export ready for your finance ledger.
Maker-checker workflow, immutable finalized runs and complete before/after audit trail.
Plug-in country engines mean UK, US or SG can join the same platform without redesigning core payroll.
India-first compliance
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.
