HRMS explained

What is an HRMS?

An HRMS (Human Resource Management System) is software that helps organizations manage employee information, HR processes, attendance, leave, payroll, recruitment, performance, documents and workforce reporting from a centralized system.

NeevHR combines these HR functions into one platform so HR, payroll, finance, managers and employees can work from the same employee record.

What an HRMS typically covers

  • Employee information
  • Organization structure
  • Employee onboarding
  • Attendance
  • Shift management
  • Leave
  • Payroll
  • Statutory compliance
  • Recruitment
  • Performance
  • Compensation
  • Expenses
  • Employee documents
  • Employee self-service
  • HR reports
  • Workforce analytics
  • Employee exit and full & final settlement

NeevHR provides these capabilities in one India-first HRMS platform.

The NeevHR difference

One Employee Record. One Source of Truth.

NeevHR maintains one employee record across the entire HR lifecycle. Promotions, transfers, salary revisions, organizational changes and other employment events are maintained as effective-dated history rather than overwriting previous information.

This allows HR and payroll teams to understand employee information as it existed at a specific point in time and reduces duplicate data entry across HR modules.

  • Dated events for promotions, transfers and pay revisions
  • Org charts and master reports as of any date
  • Backdated revisions flow into payroll as arrears

Why NeevHR

Built for the way India runs HR

The depth to run payroll and compliance at scale, with the clarity of a modern platform, and none of the cost, consultants or year-long rollout of a tier-one suite.

Built for India, only India

PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, gratuity, bonus and the DPDP Act 2023 live in the core, not a country pack bolted on. INR, the India financial year and state-wise PT and LWF tables throughout.

One employee record, effective-dated

Every promotion, transfer and pay change is a dated event on a single timeline. Nothing is overwritten, so you can run payroll, reports and org charts exactly as they stood on any date.

Configuration over customization

Leave, attendance, payroll, expense and appraisal are configurable rule sets your HR admin assigns to employee groups, in plain language. A new policy or business unit needs no code and no consultant.

Implemented in weeks

Guided migration moves your employee master, opening balances and documents across with dry-run validation. You run a parallel payroll cycle to reconcile, then go live. A typical implementation takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on employee count, data quality, integrations and payroll complexity.

One platform

Unify people, pay and processes, without the silos

More than 30 modules share one employee record, so a change made once flows everywhere it belongs. A few of them below.

Payroll

Run payroll accurately, every single cycle

Attendance, leave and salary inputs flow into a run that moves from compute to verify, approve and publish, and the person who computed a run cannot approve it. PF with the ₹25,000 wage ceiling, ESI on gross up to ₹21,000, state PT, LWF and TDS are calculated in the same run, with an audit trail behind every change.

  • Configurable pay structures assigned to employee groups
  • LOP, arrears and loan EMIs flow in automatically
  • Bank files, salary register, ECR, challans, Form 24Q and Form 16

Time & attendance

Turn every punch into a payroll-ready day

Capture attendance from biometric devices and the web, apply your shift and grace rules, and close each day into numbers payroll can trust. Regularisation and overtime are approved in the same inbox as everything else.

  • Biometric punches over the ADMS push protocol
  • Configurable day-close, grace and overtime rules
  • Pay-at-risk surfaces before payroll runs

Performance

Reviews, calibration and increments on one record

Set weighted goals, gather 360 feedback, and review talent on a 9-box grid and a rating distribution curve. Final sign-off maps straight to increment and bonus decisions, with the right authority at every step.

  • Weighted goals with a 100% validator
  • 360 feedback, 9-box and rating distribution

Recruitment

Hire faster, and onboard from day one

Move candidates from requisition to a signed offer in one flow, with interview panels, structured feedback and offers that carry the approved compensation. An accepted offer becomes an onboarding journey without re-keying a thing.

  • Requisitions with a validation gate
  • Pipeline board, panels and offer history
  • Hire-to-onboard handover into the employee record

Employee experience

Self-service for every employee

Employees check attendance, apply for leave, download payslips, submit tax declarations and claim expenses themselves, while managers act on approvals from one inbox. The NeevHR mobile app is coming soon.

  • Attendance, leave, payslips and tax declarations
  • A unified inbox of everything awaiting you

Analytics

Every list a report, every report a chart

A report catalog across modules plus a self-serve builder. Pick a dataset, group and aggregate, visualise it, and drill from a chart to the underlying records, then export it or schedule it by email.

  • Report builder with group-by and aggregate
  • Drill from any chart to the records behind it
  • Dashboards for every persona

Platform underneath

Configurable by design, governed by default

The same cross-cutting platform powers every module, so configuration, access and audit work the same way everywhere.

Custom fields

Extend employee, candidate, asset, expense and helpdesk records with your own fields, without a code change.

Workflow & approvals

Configurable approval chains per record type, routed to a role or a named person, with any, all or quorum rules.

Role-based access

Fine-grained RBAC with data scopes, field-level masking, time-bound grants and separation-of-duties checks.

Audit trail

Changes are recorded and effective-dated, so records can be reported as they stood on any date.

Notifications

In-app, email, SMS, WhatsApp and browser push from a single dispatcher, once each channel's provider is configured.

Import & export

Bulk CSV import with dry-run validation, and export from lists and reports.

India statutory compliance

How does NeevHR handle India statutory compliance?

PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS are calculated in every payroll run, and the filing outputs are generated from it: PF ECR, the ESIC contribution file, challans, the Form 24Q return file and Form 16. Statutory tables are configurable, so a rate change is a settings update, not a code change.

Customer stories

What our customers say

“We wanted an HR system that fits how an Indian company really runs, not one we had to bend ourselves around. What surprised us most was the configuration. Leave rules, attendance, payroll components and approval workflows are all set up by our own team, without code or consultants. We haven’t seen that level of control in any HR software before. And it’s simple to use. The screens are clean, everything is where you expect it, and our employees started using it from day one without any training.”
