Questions About NitoHR?

NitoHR is a simple HR management platform for growing businesses. It brings employee management, attendance, leave and payroll together in one practical system — so everyday HR work doesn't need spreadsheets, registers or scattered group chats.

Small businesses, local businesses, factories and growing companies. If you're managing a team and want attendance and payroll to just work without hiring a full HR department to run them, NitoHR is built for you.

Employee records, attendance, leave, shifts, regularization, payroll, reports and notifications — all in one place.

Yes. NitoHR is built to handle everything from a handful of employees to a few hundred — with departments, managers and shifts to keep things organised as you grow.

Yes. Employees can sign in to mark attendance, apply for leave, submit regularization requests and view their payslips. What they can see and do depends on their role.

Employees check in and check out through NitoHR. Each day's attendance is recorded against the employee's shift, and any missing or irregular entries are flagged for review or regularization.

Yes. Attendance can be restricted to a location using GPS, so check-ins are only accepted when the employee is within the allowed radius.

Yes. You can allow check-ins only from your office network by adding trusted IP addresses. This is useful for offices and factory floors where staff are always on-site.

If an employee checks in but doesn't check out, the day is marked with a missing checkout. It stays visible in attendance so it can be regularized before payroll runs.

The employee can raise a regularization request for that day. Once it's approved by their manager or HR, the correct checkout time is applied and the day counts normally.

Yes. Employees can submit a regularization request for a missed or incorrect attendance entry. The request goes to their manager or HR, and once approved, the record is updated.

Yes. Employees can apply for leave from their account, choosing the leave type and dates. The request goes to their manager or HR for approval.

Yes. HR Admins and managers can approve or reject leave requests. Approved leave is reflected in attendance and used by payroll.

Yes. You can create leave types such as Casual, Sick, Earned or Unpaid, and set whether each one is paid or unpaid. Paid leave doesn't reduce salary; unpaid leave does.

Yes. Employees can view their remaining balance for each leave type from their own account.

Yes. You can create as many shifts as you need — General, Morning, Night, or anything specific to your business — each with its own start and end time.

Yes. Working days, weekly offs and holidays can be configured per shift, so attendance and payroll use the right days for each team.

Yes. Shifts can be assigned to individual employees or in bulk — useful for whole departments, factory floors or rotating teams.

Yes. Overtime rules are set per shift, including the rate multiplier. Once overtime is approved, it flows into payroll and appears as a line item on the payslip.

Yes. NitoHR handles monthly payroll end to end — salary setup, attendance-based calculation, preview, and payslip generation. Payroll is an optional module and can be enabled per company.

Yes. Each employee's salary structure — basic, HRA, allowances and gross — can be configured with an effective date. When salary changes, you add a new structure and the history is preserved.

Payroll uses finalized attendance — present days, paid leave, unpaid leave, absences and approved overtime — to calculate each employee's pay. Unresolved attendance is flagged before payroll runs.

Unpaid leave and absence are treated as Loss of Pay (LOP). The deduction is calculated from the employee's salary and shown as a separate line in the payroll preview and payslip — so it's always clear what's being deducted and why.

Yes. Once payroll is processed, a payslip is generated for each employee showing employee details, attendance summary, earnings, deductions, overtime, net payable and the amount in words.

Yes. Every payslip can be downloaded as a PDF by HR and by the employee themselves.

NitoHR supports Company Owner, HR Admin, Manager and Employee. Each role has its own set of permissions, so people only see what they need to.

Yes. Managers can approve or reject leave and regularization requests for their team, without needing HR to step in.

HR Admins can manage employee records, attendance, leave, shifts, payroll and reports — essentially everything needed to run day-to-day HR.

Company Owners have full access — including billing, company-wide settings and everything HR Admins can do.

Pricing is based on the number of active employees in your company. You can see the full breakdown on the pricing page.

No. Only active employees count toward billing. Employees who have been marked inactive are excluded.

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from your account settings.

Yes. You can add employees whenever you need. Billing adjusts based on your active employee count.

Yes. You can start a free trial without entering a card. It gives you full access so you can try the product with your team before deciding.

Yes. Both monthly and annual billing options are available. Annual billing usually works out cheaper over the year.

Yes. Each company's data is kept separate. No company can see another company's employees, attendance or payroll information.

Access is role-based. HR Admins and Company Owners can see company-wide employee information. Managers see their team. Employees only see their own records.

Yes. If you run more than one company, each one is set up separately with its own employees, attendance and payroll — and none of them share data with the others.

Start a free trial from the contact page. You'll be able to set up your company, add employees and configure shifts right away — no card required.

You can add employees one at a time, or import them in bulk. Each employee gets their own profile with role, department and joining date.

Create a shift with its timing and working days, then assign it to employees or teams. Most companies set up one General shift to start and add more as needed.

Payroll is an optional module. Once enabled for your company, you can configure salaries, run monthly payroll and generate payslips. If it isn't enabled, the rest of NitoHR keeps working normally.
