Core HR

Manage approved seats, not just the people in them

The establishment view, positions as budgeted seats distinct from the people who fill them, tracking vacancy, incumbency, FTE and budget by seat.

Seat lifecycle

Open, filled, on notice, frozen and closed, each with the right actions.

Incumbency & FTE

See who fills each seat, at what FTE, and which seats sit vacant.

Budget by seat

Attach a budgeted CTC per year to each position and control headcount cost.

Freeze & reopen

Put a seat on budget hold and reopen it when the freeze lifts.

Workflow

How positions works, step by step

  1. 1

    Create a seat

    Set department, designation, grade, location, reports-to seat, FTE and budgeted CTC.

  2. 2

    Check the plan

    Seats beyond the workforce plan are blocked unless someone with override permission approves it, which is audited.

  3. 3

    Fill

    Assign a person; the seat moves from open to filled.

  4. 4

    Vacate or freeze

    Seats move to on notice and back to open when people leave, and empty seats can be frozen or closed.

Built on the NeevHR platform

Positions 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.

Positions: frequently asked questions

Does creating a position need approval?

Creation is direct for users with position permissions; the workforce plan check is the gate, and exceeding the plan needs an override permission.
