  • PayrollA monthly run from your salary structures, with the working shown on every slip.
  • Mobile appThe part of HR most employees touch, on the phone they already carry.

Statutory compliance

Payroll worked out from rules you set for each country.

  • Your own tax slabs. Income tax worked out from the slabs you enter, for any payroll period.
  • Contributions as components. Pension, social security and insurance deductions set as formulas on the salary structure.
  • Any currency. Salary structures and slips in the currency you pay in.
  • GDPR requests. A person can ask for a copy of their data, or for it to be deleted, and the request is tracked to completion.

The mobile app

A web app: it opens in the phone's browser and can be added to the home screen.

  • Check-in. In and out from the phone, with the location if you want it.
  • Leave and holidays. Balances, applications and the next holiday.
  • Expenses and advances. Claimed and approved from the phone.
  • Salary slips. Every slip and the year to date, downloadable.
  • Approvals. Requests waiting on you, in one panel, with a notification when one arrives.
Three phone screens from the Frappe HR mobile web app: the home screen with team leave requests waiting, an expense claim of ₹4,900 with Reject and Approve buttons, and a leave application with Reject, Review and Approve options.

Custom built to your HR policy

Where your policy has a rule Frappe HR doesn't, we add it, and payroll reads the result.

  • Short leaveA few hours off, counted against a monthly limit you set.
  • Late policyThree late marks in a month become half a day's leave, or whatever your rule says.
  • OvertimeHours past the shift, paid through payroll at your rate.

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.
