01 · The cycle

One screen for the whole monthly cycle.

Inputs → Calculate → Review → Approve → Disburse. Five steps, one screen, with the timestamp of every action and who took it.

No more "where are we in payroll this month?" Slack messages. The status is always visible to the team, and the audit trail is built in.

  • Live status — every step time-stamped with the person who approved it
  • Multi-approver — Finance signs gross, HR signs net, configurable per entity
  • Pause & resume — stop mid-cycle without losing inputs

02 · Inputs

Attendance, leave, and variable pay — already in.

Because attendance and leave live on the same platform, payroll inputs auto-populate. No CSV uploads from a separate attendance vendor. No "let me chase Anita for the LOP days."

For one-time payments — bonuses, reimbursements, advances — bulk upload or add line-by-line.

  • Auto-import from hrPLANR attendance & leave
  • Bulk variable pay via CSV, with template download
  • Reimbursements approved in ESS flow straight to payroll
  • Loss of pay (LOP) calculated from attendance, not entered manually

03 · The AI moment

The check that saves you the awkward conversation.

Before you close the cycle, AI scans every line for variances over 30% vs the rolling 3-month baseline. Department-level, role-level, employee-level. It surfaces the one anomaly that would have shipped wrong.

AI suggests — you decide. It never blocks payroll. It just makes sure that when you do hit "Approve," the surprise number was a deliberate one.

04 · Statutory

PF, ESI, PT, TDS — calculated, not "configured later".

The India statutory engine is built in. PF at the right cap, ESI at the right threshold, PT slab for the right state, TDS as per the current regime declaration. Out of the box, no add-on, no quarterly vendor call.

When slabs change — and PT slabs change often — we update them centrally. You inherit the change.

  • PF ECR with UAN-linked contributions, ready to upload
  • ESI returns at the current threshold
  • PT for 22+ states with current slabs
  • TDS 24Q quarterly + Form 16 annual

  • Full audit trail — who did what, when, with what input
  • Challan archive — PF, ESI, PT, TDS challans saved automatically
  • 7-year retention — meets statutory archival requirements

Outcomes

What this means in your month.

Real numbers from teams who switched. Your mileage will vary, but the direction is the same.

30min
Median monthly close time
Down from 3+ days on legacy HRMS. Inputs are already in the system; AI catches the anomalies; statutory is calculated.
0
Compliance penalties since launch
Filings auto-prepared and reminded. Statutory updates land centrally. Late filings happen because of inputs, not the engine.
5→1
Vendors consolidated
HRMS + payroll + compliance vendor + bank file generator + Excel — replaced by one platform. Savings vary; consolidation is universal.

Connects to the rest of the platform.

AI-Driven Payroll runs on the same foundation as every other Solution. Attendance, Leave, HR, and Compliance are not integrations — they're the same product.
