Policy engine per worker type. State-wise holidays for all 28 states. Sandwich leave handled correctly. AI forecasts demand around Diwali, Holi, and year-end so you're never caught short-staffed.
Permanent employees accrue 1.75 PL per month. Interns get a flat 5 days. Contracts get whatever your contract says. The policy engine treats each worker type as a first-class configuration — accrual rates, carry-forward rules, encashment, probation period adjustments.
Change a policy once, and from the next accrual cycle, everyone on that policy gets the new rules. No reconciliation, no per-employee recalculation.
Indian holidays don't work like American ones. Karnataka observes Karnataka Rajyotsava on 1 November — Maharashtra doesn't. Kerala has Onam — Tamil Nadu has Pongal — Bengal has Durga Puja. The calendar is automatic per employee's work location.
All 28 states and 8 union territories, updated annually. Optional regional holidays (each employee can pick 2-3) supported. Built ground-up for India, not imported from a global template.
If an employee takes Friday off and Monday off, the weekend in between is sandwiched — and counted as leave by default, per most Indian HR policies. It's a 4-day deduction, not a 2-day one. Foreign HRMSes don't model this; they treat the weekend as free.
hrPLANR knows the sandwich rule because India does. Configurable per policy — you can switch it off for engineering teams, on for shift workers, mid-day variations supported. The rule applies the way your policy says it should.
Employee opens ESS, picks dates, sees the math — including any sandwich days. The request lands in the manager's queue with team-calendar context: who else is already on leave, what coverage looks like, whether anything blocks the dates.
Manager approves or rejects in two clicks. Balance updates. Calendar reflects. Payroll knows. No "let me check with HR" loop.
Three weeks before Diwali, AI looks at last year's pattern, this year's pending requests, and your team coverage rules. The output: "Engineering is going to be at 31% coverage on Nov 3-4. Plan now."
Same for year-end (Christmas to New Year), Holi week, Eid, summer school breaks for parents. The festival calendar's hard-coded — but the forecast pulls from your team's actual data.
See all AI capabilities →When someone resigns, the leave balance at exit becomes part of the full-and-final calculation. Encashable PL × per-day-cost = the line item that lands on the F&F statement. Sandwich-adjusted, carry-forward-capped, tax-handled automatically.
You don't recalculate manually. Payroll doesn't recalculate manually. The exit-clearance team sees the number that everyone else sees.
Attendance reads the same balance, Payroll computes from it, ESS shows it, F&F draws from it. One number, every system, every audit.
