Why this matters to the Head of HR
Payroll is the trust module. The business needs both a correct computation and the bank, register and statutory outputs it can actually use—without hiding blockers until payout day.
Use this page as a product-evaluation path: start with the operating problem, inspect the representative interaction, then verify the exact policy and output in the live product.
Payroll capabilities
Designed around the full operating workflow.
Configure the module around your structures, policies, ownership and approval model—not a generic process diagram.
Effective-dated structures
Assign salary structures by grade or employee and preserve dated revisions for arrears.
Attendance and leave inputs
Combine loss-of-pay and unpaid leave correctly while accepting approved overtime, allowance and reimbursement inputs.
Draft, compute and review
Run readiness checks, compute employees, inspect registers, payslips and variance, and resolve exceptions before approval.
Reversible rehearsal
Roll back a run before finalisation so a parallel month can be compared line by line with the existing process.
India statutory outputs
Prepare supported PF ECR, ESI return, Form 24Q, professional-tax registers, challan summaries and configured bank files.
Full-and-final flow
Bring approved settlement inputs, recoveries, leave treatment and clearance context into final payroll without claiming unsupported gratuity calculation.
Connected operating workflow
Follow the action from policy to owner to downstream result.
The exact screens differ by module, but the operating principle remains the same: the applicable rule, current owner, status, effective date and history stay visible.

Product proof and boundaries
Evaluate the operating behaviour—not only the feature name.
These examples are illustrative product patterns grounded in the supported product material. Use the live product to validate the exact screen, policy and output required for your organisation.

Initiate draft and readiness check
Use a representative employee, workforce group and effective date. Follow the transaction through owner, status and downstream impact.
Current boundary
Scope honestly before committing.
Form 16 generation, gratuity calculation and statutory bonus calculation are not presented as current native capabilities.
A working view, not a static report
Give the team clear status and exception signals.

Connected modules
View all modules Payroll works better when its inputs and outputs stay connected.
Time & Attendance
Apply configurable rules to punches, shifts and work patterns, explain why each day resolved as it did, and close exceptions before they become payroll corrections.
ExploreTimesheets & Overtime
Collect timesheets, overtime and compensatory-off requests, route them through policy-led approvals and pass approved values into payroll, project or reporting workflows.
ExploreAI HR Companion
Use permission-scoped AI on the real product screen to plan supported changes, fill approved forms, explain anomalies and assist implementation—without allowing autonomous payroll, leave or configuration decisions.
ExploreCompliance & Audit Logs
Use role and data scopes, operational audit, security events, sensitive-data access records, effective dates and controlled exports to make important actions easier to reconstruct.

Which India statutory outputs are currently described?
The supplied product material describes PF ECR 2.0, ESI monthly return CSV, Form 24Q, payroll and statutory registers, challan summaries and configured bank transfer files. Current output formats should be verified in the product before contract.
Does duoHR generate Form 16 or calculate gratuity?
Those capabilities are not currently claimed. Form 16 generation, statutory bonus and gratuity calculation should be treated as product gaps unless the product team confirms an update.
