What workforce planning does in NeevHR
Headcount plan
Approved headcount and budget per department, with open and over-plan flags.
Hiring plan
Planned hires against requisitions actually raised, so you always see what is left to hire.
Cost-centre budgets
Budget envelopes per cost centre with committed-cost tracking.
Roll forward
Copy last year's plan and adjust, with an effective-dated change history per cell.
Drafts and scenarios
Work on drafts of a year's headcount plan and compare them. The live plan does not change until a draft is approved.
Submit and approve
A draft goes for approval, can be sent back, and becomes the one live plan, with earlier versions kept.
Monthly phasing and grade
Phase a plan by month and by grade, to see what should be in place by when.

Workforce planning does not run in a silo
Like every module, it sits on one effective-dated employee record, with India's statutory rules, configuration and governance shared across the platform.
Built for India, only India
PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, gratuity, bonus and the DPDP Act 2023 are part of the core product, not an add-on. INR and the India financial year throughout.
Depth without the drag
Process discipline and statutory accuracy for growing and mid-market companies, without the cost or the multi-year rollout of a tier-one suite.
A guided go-live
Implementation time depends on employee count, data quality, integrations and payroll complexity.
Configured by your HR admin
Leave, attendance, payroll, expense and appraisal are configurable rule sets assigned to employee groups. A trained HR admin can own them, no certified consultant required.
Workforce planning: frequently asked questions
Is the recruitment budget enforced?
Headcount is enforced against the plan. The recruitment budget is tracked for visibility but not used to block hiring.
