HR and payroll software,
attendance to payslips.

What is HR and payroll software?

HR and payroll software keeps your employee records, attendance and leave, and turns them into a correct monthly payroll: salaries, absence deductions, overtime, income tax, EOBI, loans and advances, then payslips and payment. In EloERP the HRM module sits on the same cloud system as your accounts, so each run posts one balanced journal entry and every employee has their own ledger.

How payroll works

One payroll month, start to finish

The same eight steps every month. Setup is done once; after that the system carries each step into the next.

Attendance management system

Attendance and leave that feed payroll directly

Mark attendance daily, bulk-mark a team, import a CSV or sync from a biometric device. Whatever is recorded flows straight into that month's salary.

  • Shifts with timings, grace minutes, a half-day threshold and an overtime multiplier.
  • Leave types with days per year, paid or unpaid, carry-forward and encashment; leave applications approved against your leave policies.
  • Public holidays left out of working days (Pakistan's national list loads with one button).
  • Missed punches fixed through regularization requests that rewrite the day once approved.
What happensEffect on pay
Absent on a working dayOne day's pay deducted (monthly gross ÷ working days)
Half dayHalf a day's pay deducted

Income tax on salary

Income tax on salary, worked out from your tax slabs

Enter the tax year's income-tax slabs for salaried employees once. On every payroll run, EloERP annualises each employee's taxable pay, applies the slab and withholds one-twelfth of the annual tax. When a new tax year starts, you add its slabs and the next run uses them. Pakistan's salaried slabs (for example 2025-26) are built in.

Example · Pakistan, tax year 2025-26
Taxable pay this month (185,000 + 25,000)210,000
Annualised (× 12)2,520,000
Slab: 2,200,001 – 3,200,000 → 116,000 + 23% above 2,200,000189,600 / year
Monthly tax withheld (÷ 12)15,800
EOBI, employee 1% of the 37,000 ceiling370
Net salary193,830
Example from a demo company using the slab settings shown. The slabs are yours to maintain; EloERP applies whatever you enter.
  • Taxable flag on each earning decides what counts towards income tax.
  • Tax withheld per employee in an income-tax statement, plus a tax deduction certificate for each person (Section 149 in Pakistan).
Payroll → Statutory & Tax Slabs

Statutory deductions · Pakistan

Pakistan statutory payroll: EOBI, PESSI and SESSI

For companies in Pakistan, EOBI is built in. Set the ceiling wage and the employee and employer percentages once; the employee share is deducted from salary and the employer share is booked as a company expense, both worked out on gross pay up to the ceiling.

  • Example settings: ceiling Rs 37,000, employee 1%, employer 5%. Change them when the rates change.
  • PESSI (Punjab) or SESSI (Sindh) social security, usually employer-only, on full wages unless you set a ceiling.
  • Provident fund with optional employee and employer percentages, and gratuity by days per year of service for final settlement.
  • Monthly EOBI contribution list, WHT return, salary bank files for HBL, UBL and MCB, and CNIC, NTN and EOBI numbers on every employee record.

Salary slips

A salary slip for every employee, from every run

Payslips are generated when the run is finalized. Each one shows earnings, deductions, attendance, net pay in words, payment status and the employer's contributions.

  • PDF or print any slip, or download a whole month's slips in one PDF.
  • Email the slip once salary is paid, or send slips automatically on payment.
  • My HR Portal: employees with a login see their own slips, leave balances, attendance and loans.
  • Salary certificates and letters (appointment, experience, bank and increment letters) on your letterhead.
Pay Slip · September 2026
EloERP salary slip for September 2026 showing basic salary, allowances, EOBI, income tax and net pay

Salary slip: net Rs 193,830 paid in full; employer EOBI and PESSI shown but not deducted.

Loans & advances

Employee loans and salary advances, recovered from salary

Approve a loan or advance, pay it from bank or cash, and EloERP builds the schedule. Each payroll run deducts the instalment until it is cleared, and every movement lands on the employee's own ledger.

Employee loans list: a 60,000 loan at 10,000 per month with 50,000 outstanding

Loans: Rs 60,000 over six months, with the loan statement and agreement one click away.

Salary advance of Rs 8,000 recovered in the September 2026 payroll

Advances: recovered in full from the next payroll, or carried over if the salary does not cover it.

Payroll with accounting

Every payroll run posted to your books

Press Post to Accounts and EloERP posts one balanced journal entry for the month: salary expense, employer contributions, net pay owed to each employee, and the tax and contributions withheld. Salary cost shows in the Profit & Loss straight away.

  • Each employee's own ledger: loans paid out, salary owed, instalments recovered and salary paid, in one running statement.
  • Pay salaries to everyone or one by one, from any bank or cash account, or download a bank bulk-transfer file for internet banking (HBL, UBL and MCB formats today).
  • Withheld tax and contributions stay as liabilities until you deposit them; one payment voucher clears each.

FAQ

HR and payroll software: questions

What is HRM software?
HRM (human resource management) software keeps employee records, attendance and leave, and runs payroll from them. EloERP's HRM module covers employees, attendance, shifts, leave, loans and advances, monthly payroll, payslips and HR reports, and posts every payroll run to the same accounts the rest of the business uses.
Can EloERP run payroll outside Pakistan?
Yes. Attendance, leave, salary components, overtime, loans and advances, payslips, salary payments and posting to the accounts work the same in any country, and you enter your own income-tax slabs per tax year. Pakistan's statutory rules (FBR salary slabs, EOBI, PESSI and SESSI) and its bank transfer files are built in; for other countries' statutory deductions or bank formats, talk to us first.
Does EloERP calculate income tax on salary in Pakistan?
Yes. You enter the salary tax slabs for the tax year once (for example 2025-26). On each payroll run EloERP annualises every employee's taxable pay, applies the slab and withholds one-twelfth of the annual tax. It also produces the Income Tax (WHT) statement and a Tax Deduction Certificate for each employee.
How is the EOBI contribution calculated in EloERP?
You set the ceiling wage and the employee and employer percentages (for example a Rs 37,000 ceiling, 1% employee and 5% employer). EloERP works out both shares on gross pay up to the ceiling, deducts the employee share from salary, books the employer share as an expense and keeps the total as EOBI payable until you pay it.
Can EloERP generate salary slips?
Yes. Every finalized run generates a salary slip for each employee with earnings, deductions, attendance, net pay in words and employer contributions. You can download it as a PDF, print it, email it, download a whole month's slips in one PDF, or let employees see their own slips in the My HR Portal.
Does it work with biometric attendance machines?
Attendance can be synced from a biometric device, imported from a CSV file, marked in bulk or marked one employee at a time. Absences, half days, late arrivals, unpaid leave and overtime then flow into that month's payroll.
Can I pay salaries through the bank?
Yes. Pay everyone or individual employees from any bank or cash account, and each payment is posted to the accounts and settles the employee's ledger. In Pakistan you can also download the HBL, UBL or MCB bulk-transfer file to upload to internet banking.
Are employee loans and advances deducted from salary automatically?
Yes. Once a loan is approved and paid out, EloERP builds the instalment schedule and every payroll run deducts that month's instalment until the loan is cleared. A salary advance is recovered in full from the next payroll, or carried over if the salary does not cover it.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, a 15-day free trial with no credit card. HR and payroll is part of EloERP, alongside POS, inventory and accounting.
