HRMS

HRMS (Human Resource Management System) is cloud software that handles employee data, attendance, leave, payroll, onboarding, and compliance for a company on a single platform.

What is HRMS?

A Human Resource Management System (HRMS) is a digital platform that pulls every HR job into one place: employee records, attendance, payroll, leave, onboarding, and compliance reports. Modern HRMS platforms are cloud-based, work on mobile, and connect to biometric devices, banks, and statutory portals (PF, ESI, IT). Indian HRM is built specifically for Indian startups and SMEs.

How HRMS is used

In a typical company, the HRMS is the system of record for headcount, attendance, payslips, leave balance, and statutory filings. Employees use a self-service portal; HR uses it to run monthly payroll and pull reports.

HRMS FAQs

What is the difference between HRMS and HRIS?

HRIS (Human Resource Information System) typically stores employee records and basic data. HRMS adds payroll, performance, attendance, and self-service on top. Today, most people use the two terms interchangeably.

Is HRMS only for large companies?

No. Cloud HRMS software like Indian HRM is priced per-employee, so it is affordable from 10 to 20 employees onwards and scales as the company grows.

Does HRMS handle Indian compliance like PF and ESI?

Yes. A payroll-enabled HRMS auto-calculates PF, ESI, TDS, and Professional Tax, and produces ECR files, Form 16, and statutory registers.
