HRMS Software at a glance
Employee records
Personal and job details, department, designation and reporting manager, joining and exit dates, bank account, PAN, PF and ESI numbers — everything payroll and the statutory files need.
Monthly attendance register
One row per employee and one cell per day: present, work from home, half day, absent, paid leave, leave without pay, holiday or weekly off. The unpaid days it shows are the ones payroll starts from.
Leave requests and approvals
Employees ask for leave; managers approve or reject it. Overlapping requests are caught, and approved leave flows into the attendance register and payroll.
Hiring
Job postings, and candidates moved through screening, phone, technical, HR and final rounds to an offer and hired — with interviews and the offered pay recorded.
Performance reviews
Reviews scored on performance, communication, teamwork, initiative and technical skill, giving an overall rating that the employee acknowledges.
A portal for every employee
Each employee signs in to see their payslips, the leave they have taken and their requests waiting for approval, and to apply for leave.
Attendance that payroll can trust
The attendance register shows the whole month at a glance: one row per employee, one cell per day, built from the attendance marks and the approved leave. It uses the same rules as payroll, so what you see is what people will be paid for.
A day marked absent is unpaid, a half day is half unpaid, and approved leave without pay is unpaid. Approved paid leave cancels an absence marked on the same day, weekends and holidays are never unpaid, and a day with no mark counts as worked. When the month's payroll starts, every employee's unpaid days are already counted.
Leave without the back-and-forth
Employees apply for leave from their own portal, or HR records it for them — up to a year back or a year ahead. A request that overlaps one already pending or approved is stopped with a clear message, so nobody is booked twice.
Managers see what is waiting and approve or reject it; the employee is told either way. Approved leave shows on the attendance register straight away, and leave without pay is deducted in the next payroll.
Hiring and reviews in the same system
Open a job posting and add candidates as they apply. Move each one through the stages — screening, phone interview, technical, HR and final rounds — record the interviews, and make an offer with the yearly pay. Someone who has already applied for a posting can't be added twice, and a candidate can only be marked hired after an offer.
Performance reviews follow a simple cycle: the reviewer scores the employee on five areas and submits the review, the overall score maps to a rating from unsatisfactory to outstanding, and the employee acknowledges it. Reviews are kept with the employee's record.
Who sees what
- Roles decide who can view employees, mark attendance, approve leave and run or approve payroll — each is a separate permission.
- Employees see only their own payslips, leave and requests in their portal.
- Pay, PAN, PF and ESI numbers and bank accounts show in full only to admins, HR and the people who run payroll — everyone else sees them masked. Webhooks to other systems carry payroll totals, never anyone's salary.
- Every change to pay and to the books is kept in the audit trail, with who made it and when.

Frequently asked questions
What does an HRMS do?
A human resource management system keeps employee records, attendance, leave and payroll together, so the information HR, managers and accounts need lives in one place. In Finvosmart it also covers hiring and performance reviews, and shares one set of books with accounting.
Can I import my employees from Excel?
Yes. Employee details import from Excel; every import is checked and previewed before anything is saved, and is saved all or nothing.
Can employees apply for leave themselves?
Yes. Each employee signs in to their own portal to apply for leave, see what they have taken this year and what is waiting for approval, and open their payslips.
Does attendance feed payroll?
Yes. Absences, half days and approved leave without pay on the attendance register become the unpaid days the month's payroll starts from. You can still adjust any line before approving the payroll.
Can I track hiring in Finvosmart?
Yes. Create job postings, add candidates and move them through screening and interview rounds to an offer and hired, with interviews and the offered pay recorded.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at ₹3,999 per month billed annually (₹4,999 billed monthly), with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required.
