HRMS Software for Professional Services Firms
Utilisation and delivery on one platform.
Consulting firms, agencies and professional practices need an HRMS that captures time against projects, supports performance tied to delivery, and lets a lean HR team configure policies without consultants. NeevHR is designed for that.
HR for professional services, in practice
Professional services firms sell their people's time and expertise. Utilisation, fair reviews and retention of senior talent matter more than headcount volume.
NeevHR captures time against projects, runs goal and review cycles, and plans increments with budgets, while a small HR team configures leave, attendance and payroll policies itself.

Rules that matter for professional services firms
Consulting firms and agencies are usually shops and establishments under the state Act, with salaried professionals and project-based contracts. Labour is a concurrent subject, so the details below depend on the rules your state has notified; confirm them for each location.
| Rule | What it means for HR and payroll |
|---|---|
| Shops and Establishments Act | Working hours, leave and weekly off for the office's state |
| Fixed-term contracts | Recognised for all sectors, with parity of wages and gratuity after one year |
| POSH | An Internal Committee at every office with 10 or more employees |
| DPDP Act, 2023 | Employee data, and often client data on employee devices, with the main duties from 13 May 2027 |

Professional services: HRMS questions
Does NeevHR create client invoices from timesheets?
No. NeevHR captures and reports time against projects. Invoicing stays in your billing or accounting system.
Can we run increment cycles with budgets?
Yes. Compensation cycles use a merit matrix and per-manager budgets, and generate increment letters.
Can a small HR team configure NeevHR?
Yes. Policies are configured in settings and assigned to employee groups, without code.
