What the ERPNext HR module gives you
Employee lifecycle
One record from offer letter to exit interview — documents, assets and history attached.
Attendance & shifts
Geo check-ins, biometric integration and rosters that sync straight into payroll.
Leave management
Configurable policies, approvals, encashment and a shared leave calendar.
Automated payroll
Salary structures, Indian income tax slabs, loans and off-cycle payments run in minutes.
Appraisals & goals
KRA-based appraisal cycles with self-evaluation and transparent scoring.
Employee self-service
Payslips, leave requests and claims from a phone — HR stops being a helpdesk.
How ERPNext HR works in practice
Attendance flows into salary slips; approved claims settle against advances; payroll posts to cost centres the moment it is submitted. Because HR shares the platform with finance, the usual month-end argument between the two teams simply disappears — the numbers were never in two places.
Compliance without the scramble
Indian payroll needs — income tax computation, declarations, PF/ESI-ready structures — are handled inside the run. Explore the wider ERPNext platform, our implementation service, or the standalone Frappe HR app on the Frappe ecosystem page. Detail lives in the official ERPNext documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Does payroll handle Indian tax?
Yes — income tax slabs, declarations, exemption proofs and computation reports are built in.
Can employees apply for leave themselves?
Yes, from web or mobile — with approvals, balances and holiday calendars visible to everyone.
Does it integrate with biometric devices?
Standard integrations capture punches into attendance, which then drives payroll automatically.
