Payday, boring by design
Pre-flight checks catch missing attendance and unverified declarations before the run, so the correction email never gets written.

Payroll pre-flight checks
Before a run, ZekoHR flags missing attendance and incomplete or unverified tax declarations, and only for orgs that actually use those modules, so the report stays worth reading.
Tax declarations (TDS)
Full investment declaration flow: draft → submitted → verified or handed back, per-item proof uploads, declaration windows that lock editing, and verified amounts kept separate from declared amounts.
Reimbursements & advances
Mark claims paid out-of-band, or push them into the next payroll run automatically. Cash advances are requested, approved, disbursed and then auto-reconciled against claims so you only pay the delta.
Expense reports & GST
Spend by category, department, employee and month with billable split and CSV export, GSTIN capture, a GST input-credit register, multi-currency FX capture, and mileage & per-diem rates.
Money that reconciles itself
Common questions
Does ZekoHR file PF, ESI or TDS returns for us?
No, and we say that plainly. ZekoHR runs payroll, generates payslips and keeps clean, exportable records that your accountant or CA can file from. Statutory filings remain with you or your professional.
What do the pre-flight checks catch?
Before a run, ZekoHR flags missing attendance and incomplete or unverified tax declarations, and only for modules your organisation actually uses, so the report stays worth reading.
Can a payroll run be undone?
Yes. Runs move draft to finalize to publish, and an admin can roll back a finalized or published run. Payslips disappear from employee portals until the corrected run is published again.
How do employees receive payslips?
As PDFs in their own portal, with an email notification when a run is published. No more emailing salary details around.
