Not a bundle of bolted-on tools
One product, one login, one employee record. Built the way HR actually runs in India.
One employee record
Leave feeds attendance, attendance feeds payroll, claims reconcile against advances. Nothing re-entered, nothing out of sync.
India-first
Prices in ₹ with GST invoices, TDS declarations, restricted-holiday calendars, and the primary database hosted in Mumbai.
Mobile-first
Designed at phone size and enhanced up. Apply for leave, approve a claim, or check a payslip from anywhere.
API-first
Every screen is powered by the same documented API. Webhooks and API access on Pro. Your data is never trapped.
Everything HR, in one place
Seven modules on one record per person, for employees and Contractors alike. Pick a tab, or explore each in depth.
The everyday backbone
Profiles, directory, leave, attendance and documents. The record everything else builds on.
- Rich profiles with employment timeline, PF & ESI opt-ins
- Leave types, allocations and team calendars, with restricted holidays
- One clean attendance record per person per day, totals derived live
- Self-service that ends the "please send HR an email" era

Hire well, keep candidates informed
Requisition to joining day on one Kanban board per job, with a proper email at every step.
- Pipeline stages you configure, with drag-and-drop and bulk moves
- Branded, editable candidate emails, with calendar invites for interviews
- Panel scorecards filled in independently, feedback chased automatically
- Offers, pre-joining checklist, then one click to a new employee

Contractors and agencies, beside your employees
Freelancers, consultants and agency staff in the same HR system, each with an engagement and a login that shows only what you allow.
- Engagements with rate, dates, manager, payout track, caps and the SOW
- Agencies propose their own workers; HR approves before access starts
- Per-company Contractor access to feed, grievances, documents, directory and more
- Same per-user price as an employee, on every plan

Paperwork that runs itself
Onboarding to offboarding, letters to policies. A verification queue instead of a shared drive.
- Template checklists from offer to day one, and orderly exits
- Documents Center: verify in bulk, request in batches, chase expiries automatically
- Offer letters and confirmations rendered to PDF and emailed
- Every material action lands in an append-oriented audit log

Payroll without the pit in your stomach
Pre-flight checks catch what would have been a correction email. Before you run, not after.
- Draft → finalize → publish runs, with rollback
- PDF payslips delivered to every employee's portal
- Full TDS investment-declaration flow with proof uploads
- Expense claims with approval chains, advances auto-reconciled

A voice for every employee
A social feed people actually open, and a confidential channel for the conversations that matter most.
- Posts, reactions, comments, @mentions and polls
- Kudos tied to your company values, with a leaderboard
- Birthdays and anniversaries celebrated automatically
- Anonymous grievance reporting with a secret tracking code

Common questions
What does ZekoHR actually include?
Seven modules on one record per person: Core HR (profiles, directory, leave, attendance, documents), Recruitment (pipeline, interviews, offers, referrals), Contractors (individual Contractors and agencies, engagements, Contractor access), People Operations (onboarding, Documents Center, letters, policies, assets, audit log), Payroll & Expenses, Culture & Engagement, and Platform (multi-company, roles, API). Everything is included in the free year.
Is the free year really free?
Yes. Every signup gets the full product for 365 days, for up to 50 employees, with no card and every module switched on. After that, plans are ₹10, ₹20 or ₹30 per user per month, and the exact price is always shown before you pay.
How long does setup take?
Most teams are running the same day. Departments, leave types and an India-ready holiday calendar come pre-seeded; you sign up, pick your subdomain and invite people. There is no implementation project and no sales call.
Where does our data live, and how is it protected?
The primary database is in Mumbai, India. Traffic is TLS end to end, files are stored encrypted, access is role-based, and every material action lands in an audit log. Our security page states exactly what is live and what is still planned.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. ZekoHR is designed at phone size first, as a web app with nothing to install. Applying for leave, approving a claim or checking a payslip all work from a browser on any phone.
Are we locked in?
No. The documented API that powers every screen is available on Pro (or as an add-on), so your data is never trapped. If you cancel, you keep read-only access and your data is retained for 90 days before being irreversibly purged.
