Frappe HR

Open Source, modern, and easy-to-use HR and Payroll Software

Frappe HR

Frappe HR has everything you need to drive excellence within the company. It’s a complete HRMS solution with over 13 different modules right from Employee Management, Onboarding, Leaves, to Payroll, Taxation, and more!

Motivation

When Frappe team started growing in terms of size, we needed an open-source HR and Payroll software. We didn’t find any “true” open-source HR software out there and so decided to build one ourselves. Initially, it was a set of modules within ERPNext but version 14 onwards, as the modules became more mature, Frappe HR was created as a separate product.

Key Features

Employee Lifecycle: From onboarding employees, managing promotions and transfers, all the way to documenting feedback with exit interviews, make life easier for employees throughout their life cycle.
Leave and Attendance: Configure leave policies, pull regional holidays with a click, check-in and check-out with geolocation capturing, track leave balances and attendance with reports.
Expense Claims and Advances: Manage employee advances, claim expenses, configure multi-level approval workflows, all this with seamless integration with ERPNext accounting.
Performance Management: Track goals, align goals with key result areas (KRAs), enable employees to evaluate themselves, make managing appraisal cycles easy.
Payroll & Taxation: Create salary structures, configure income tax slabs, run standard payroll, accomodate additional salaries and off cycle payments, view income breakup on salary slips and so much more.
Frappe HR Mobile App: Apply for and approve leaves on the go, check-in and check-out, access employee profile right from the mobile app.
