People data should explain the month—not delay its close.

When profiles, attendance, requests and salary decisions live in separate files, HR spends the month rebuilding context that already existed.

Scalar360 carries each decision forward: from the employee record to the workday, from the workday to payroll, and from payroll into the wider business.

Open the workflow your day needs.

Move from employee setup to attendance, approvals, payroll and development without losing the underlying record.

Build one dependable employee record for identity, work, pay and access.

  • Personal and employment profiles
  • Departments, designations and managers
  • CSV or Excel employee migration
  • Bank, PAN, UAN and ESI details
See every detail

The employee record is useful when every later decision can find its way back.

One record through the month

From joining to payroll, context travels forward.

Profile, attendance, approvals, payroll and development stay linked throughout the employee lifecycle.

Create the record

A joiner becomes operational once, everywhere.

Profile, department, manager, salary, shift, office and access begin from the same employee record.

Capture the day

The workday arrives with evidence attached.

Web, mobile, biometric, import and manual punches resolve into hours, status, late time and overtime.

Review the exception

Requests reach the person who can decide.

Leave, attendance corrections, WFH and travel move through visible approval states with reasons intact.

Close the month

Payroll is previewed before it becomes a record.

Paid days, earnings, statutory deductions and net pay can be checked, drafted, approved and marked paid.

Carry the history

Development and change remain part of the record.

Assets, documents, letters, salary revisions, training and appraisal outcomes stay connected to the employee.

Everything behind a well-run employee month.

Keep people records, attendance evidence, approvals, payroll and development ready for the next decision.

People records

Payroll & compliance

Calculate the month from attendance, salary structure and statutory settings.

  • Maintain annual CTC alongside monthly basic, HRA, special allowance, TDS and statutory applicability.
  • Model salary components as earnings or deductions using fixed, percentage-of-basic or percentage-of-CTC calculations.

Follow payroll costs, employee expenses and project work into their connected operating context.

Before you bring the team across.

Can we import our existing employees?

Yes. Download a CSV or Excel template, add one employee per row and upload it. Duplicate employee codes or emails are skipped, and the result reports created, skipped, failed and row-level errors.

Which attendance capture methods are supported?

Attendance can come from manual entry, live web check-in, mobile self check-in, CSV or Excel import, or connected fingerprint, face and card devices. Policies can derive status, late time and overtime from those punches.

Can mobile attendance be limited to an office?

Yes. Define office coordinates and a radius, assign an office to an employee if needed, and require geo-fence or selfie evidence. Browser check-in can also be restricted by allowed IP addresses.

How does a payroll run move through the system?

Choose a month, preview employee paid days and calculated amounts, create a draft, approve the run and mark it paid. Individual payslips remain available as PDFs.

Does payroll support Indian statutory deductions?

Payroll configuration includes employee and employer PF, PF wage ceilings, employee and employer ESI, ESI wage ceilings, professional tax and employee-level TDS. These settings are configurable by the organisation.

What employee lifecycle work is included?

The People module includes onboarding and offboarding checklists, an employee document vault with expiry dates, asset assignment and return, salary-revision approvals, generated HR letters, training and performance appraisals.
