Payroll shouldn't be the scariest week of the month.
Vel HRMS started with a simple observation: most mid-sized companies in India run attendance on one system, payroll on a spreadsheet, and PF compliance in someone's memory. We build the system that lets those three things be the same thing.
How we got here
A short history, honestly told.
-
Year one
Built for one payroll admin
The first version had one job: stop a friend's payroll admin from re-typing biometric exports into Excel every month. It handled attendance and nothing else.
-
Year two
Payroll and PF joined the record
Attendance data is only useful if it changes what people get paid. We added configurable salary structures, late/short-hour deduction rules, and Provident Fund tracking that reads directly off the attendance ledger instead of a second spreadsheet.
-
Year three
A portal employees actually use
Self-service stopped being a login page nobody opened once we put payslips, leave balances, and a manual attendance fallback in one place — for the days the biometric device just won't cooperate.
-
Today
Still one team, still opinionated
We'd rather ship the deduction rule your finance team actually uses than a hundred settings nobody touches. That's still how we decide what to build next.
What we optimize for
Numbers you can trust
Every payslip traces back to an attendance record and a rule you configured — never a black box.
Nothing waits on IT
When the biometric device fails, HR shouldn't have to file a ticket to run payroll on time.
Compliance by default
PF, PAN and Aadhaar handling follow the rules from day one — not bolted on after an audit.
