Questions
How do we know the first payroll is right?
For one month, Frappe HR runs payroll alongside the way you run it now. You switch over once its salaries match yours.
Is Frappe HR free?
The software is free and open source. What you pay for is hosting and the work of implementing it: salary structures, opening balances and attendance. If ERPNext already runs on your Frappe Cloud site, it is free to install there too.
