How Frappe HR works in practice
Attendance from the phone app or biometric device lands in the same system that runs payroll, so salary day needs no imports. A leave approved on Monday adjusts the month’s payable hours automatically; an expense claim settles against the advance that funded the trip. HR stops being a document-chasing function and starts operating from one live source of employee truth.
Standalone or with ERPNext
Run Frappe HR alone for people ops, or with ERPNext HR & Payroll so salaries post straight into company books. It shares the Frappe Framework base within the Frappe ecosystem; details live on the official Frappe HR site.
Frequently asked questions
Does Frappe HR have a mobile app?
Yes — a PWA for check-in, leave, payslips and approvals, so employees rarely need the desktop.
Can it run Indian payroll?
Salary structures, income tax slabs, declarations and computation reports handle Indian payroll natively.
Is it open source?
Fully — GPL-licensed with no per-employee fees; you invest in configuration, not licences.
