what you get

What we deliver

One employee record

Joining to exit in one place — personal details, contracts, documents, salary history and expiry reminders for the papers that lapse.

Leave and attendance

Leave types and accruals set to your own policy, shift and roster handling, and attendance captured from web, mobile or biometric devices.

Payroll that posts itself

Payroll processed against those records, with the journal, accruals and control accounts landing in your accounting system automatically.

what we set up

What goes into the build

Onboarding and offboarding

Checklists, document collection, asset handover and approvals, so nothing depends on one person remembering the steps.

Policy configuration

Leave policies, holiday calendars, probation rules, shift patterns and overtime treatment, configured for the country your people work in.

Self-service

Employees raise their own leave, claims and document requests, and managers approve on their phone, which stops HR being a queue.

Performance and reviews

Goals, appraisal cycles, feedback and review workflows if you want them — and switched off cleanly if you do not.

Payroll inputs and outputs

Salary structures, variable pay, deductions, reimbursements and payslips, with the payroll register and journal reconciled every cycle.

Access and confidentiality

Role-based access so salary data is visible only to the people who should see it, with an audit trail behind every change.

Payroll rules change by country. The setup should too.

Send us your headcount, the countries your people are in and how payroll is run today. We will come back with a written scope and a quote.

how it works

How we get it done

step one

Scoping call

We map how you work today, what is broken, and what the system has to produce. You get a written scope and a fixed project quote before anything is built.

step two

Build and migrate

Setup, configuration, customisation and data migration on a timeline you can see. You review in a sandbox before anything goes live.

step three

Go live and train

Cutover on an agreed date, then training for your team in their own workflows — recorded, so new joiners can watch it later. Support continues after go-live.

questions

Common questions

What does a Zoho People implementation cost?

Implementation is quoted per project once we know the scope, and ongoing work is quoted at an hourly rate. Send us the contact form with your entity, your current system and roughly how many users and transactions you have, and we will come back with a written quote in your own currency.

Does Zoho Payroll work in our country?

Zoho Payroll is available in a limited set of countries, so this is the first thing we check on the scoping call. Where it is not available, we implement Zoho People for records, leave and attendance and integrate it with your local payroll bureau or provider — the journal still posts into your accounts automatically.

Can you run the payroll for us, not just build the system?

Yes. Processing each cycle, reconciling the payroll control accounts and posting the journal is part of what our accounting team does. What we do not do is act as your statutory filing agent in your own country — we work alongside whoever holds that role.

Can we keep our existing payroll provider?

Yes, and many clients do. Zoho People becomes the single employee record and the source of the inputs; your provider keeps doing the statutory filing. We build the handover between the two so nobody re-keys anything.

Do you handle multiple countries?

Yes. Different leave policies, holiday calendars, working weeks and payroll rules per country, on one platform, with consolidated reporting across them.

How does attendance get captured?

Web check-in, the mobile app with geo-restriction if you want it, or integration with biometric devices you already own. Shifts and rosters are configured to your patterns.

Is salary data safe on it?

Access is role-based and least-privilege, so payroll data is visible only to named people, and every change is logged. During implementation we work on sample data wherever the configuration allows it.

How long does it take?

Records, leave and attendance for a single country is typically two to three weeks. Adding payroll and multi-country policies extends that, and the timeline is in the written scope.

Who pays for the licences?

You do, directly to Zoho, on your own account. Zoho People is priced per employee per month and payroll is priced separately; we will tell you which plan your configuration needs before you subscribe.

What happens after go-live?

A support window is included, covering the first live payroll cycles — which is exactly when the questions appear. After that, ongoing support is optional.
