HRMS and payroll software: what Indian businesses need

By the SkleUp team. Updated .

HRMS (human resource management system) software keeps employee records, tracks attendance and leave, and runs payroll with payslips. Indian SMEs should look for work-from-office and work-from-home attendance, half-day and late-login rules, statutory salary components, loan and advance recovery, and PDF payslips.

Core HRMS features

  • Employee directory with departments, roles and reporting managers
  • Attendance from logins or devices, with WFO and WFH tracking
  • Shifts, holidays, work policies and half-day rules
  • Leave requests and approvals
  • Payroll with salary components, statutory rules and payslips
  • Advances and loan recovery from salary

Why run HR inside your CRM

When HR lives in the same system as sales and tasks, attendance comes from the same login people already use, and managers see workload, occupancy and attendance side by side. SkleUp works this way: logins become attendance, and approved leave reaches payroll automatically.

Moving from spreadsheets

Start by importing your employee list, set your work policy and holidays, and run one month of attendance in parallel with your current method before switching payroll.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between HRMS and payroll software?

Payroll software calculates salaries. HRMS covers the whole employee record, including attendance, leave and payroll. Many HRMS products, including SkleUp, include payroll.

Can HRMS track work from home attendance?

Yes. SkleUp decides WFO or WFH using office IP addresses and location, and counts attendance from CRM login sessions.
