How it works
Live in four to six weeks. Without the IT project.
You send us your policies and your people data. We turn them into a working system, test it against your current payroll, and stay on after go-live.
Week 1
Kick-off and policies
A one-hour call to understand how you work today. You share your attendance rules, leave policy, salary structure, holiday list and statutory registrations.
Weeks 1 to 2
We configure Edge HR
Departments, locations, shifts, leave rules, salary components, roles and letter templates, all set to match your documents. Your logo and letterhead go on everything employees see.
Weeks 2 to 3
Your team comes in
Employees fill in the joining form from their phones. HR verifies the details, we import everyone, and logins go out with a short guide and video.
Month 1 to 2
Parallel payroll, then go live
One full month of payroll runs in Edge HR next to your current method. Every payslip is compared. You switch when they match.
What we need from you
A folder of documents you already have.
Spreadsheets, PDFs and photos of printed policies are all fine. We'll ask if anything is unclear.
- Company registration details, PAN and TAN
- PF, ESI and professional tax registrations
- Office and field locations
- Holiday list and weekly offs
- Attendance rules: timings, grace period, late and half-day rules
- Leave policy, including probation rules
- Salary structures and the last three months' salary sheets
- Letterhead and current letter formats
- A list of company assets, if you want them tracked
Who does what
After go-live, your HR team runs it. We keep it right.
Your HR team
- Adds new joiners and processes exits
- Approves leave, or lets managers do it
- Runs payroll each month and checks the numbers
- Generates letters and answers employee questions
Edge HR
- Hosting, backups, security and updates
- Routine changes: new shifts, leave types, branches, letter formats
- Yearly updates: holiday lists, tax and statutory changes
- Support on WhatsApp and email when something looks off
Rollout FAQ
Before you start.
Do we need anyone technical on our side?
No. You need someone from HR who knows your policies and someone from accounts who knows payroll. We handle the system.
What if our policies aren't written down?
That's common. We'll ask the questions on the kick-off call and write the rules down with you, so you end up with a clear policy as well as a working system.
Can we start with attendance and leave, and add payroll later?
Yes. Payroll is already part of Essential, so you can switch it on whenever you're ready. The parallel payroll month happens at that point.
What happens to our old data?
Current employee details come in through the joining form or an import. Older history, such as past salary records, can be migrated as an add-on.
Start with a 30-minute call.
We'll understand your setup and tell you exactly what your rollout would look like.
