Questions before you move payroll
Yes, through two free apps. Frappe HR runs salary structures, attendance, leave and the payroll run. Frappe's India Payroll app adds PF with the ECR file, ESI, professional tax and labour welfare fund by state, and old and new regime tax slabs. We set both up and test them on one of your months before the first real run.
No. India Compliance covers GST: returns, e-invoices and e-way bills. Payroll is a separate app, India Payroll, made by Frappe and installed on Frappe HR, which runs on ERPNext. An Indian site usually runs all three. Each is open source, so none of them charges per employee.
Usually, by one of three routes. One site with a ZKTeco-type machine syncs over your office network. Several sites, or machines like eSSL and Matrix, connect through the maker's cloud or a connector. Most machines can also export a file. We pick the route in the first week and test it before the first payroll.
Yes. We bring in this year's figures so far — earnings, deductions, tax paid and each employee's declarations — so tax carries on without a jump. We then run one month in both systems and compare slips before the old one stops.
Frappe ships updates to India Payroll; we apply them on your site, test them on a copy and tell you what changed on your slips. Changes the app does not cover yet, we build. That ongoing work is what a support plan covers.
Yes. Frappe HR installs on ERPNext, and India Payroll installs on Frappe HR. If you only want HR and payroll, we set ERPNext up with just the accounts payroll posts to, so the operational modules stay out of your way until you want them.
Yes. Frappe HR's own mobile app lets staff check in, apply for leave, file expense claims and download payslips; managers approve on their phones. It runs in the phone's browser and installs to the home screen, so nothing goes through an app store. We set up who sees what.
It doesn't have to. Your CA gets the PF, ESI, professional tax and labour welfare fund registers and the return files straight from the system each month, instead of collecting sheets. If you'd rather file in-house later, the same reports are there for your team.
The codes change how some pay is counted for PF, gratuity and other dues. What that means for your salary structures depends on how they are split today, so we review them with you on the call and with your CA before any change, rather than set one rule for everyone.
There is no licence fee per employee: Frappe HR and India Payroll are open source. You pay for hosting and for our work to set it up, bring your data in and support it. The size depends on your states, your machine and what's in the third bucket, so we price it on the call.
