Key benefits

How it works

  1. Configure Your HR Policies — Define your leave policies, approval hierarchies, shift schedules, and department structure. Set probation periods, notice periods, and increment cycles. One-time configuration that adapts to your company's specific HR rules.
  2. Employees Manage Themselves — Employees update their own profiles, apply for leave, mark attendance, view salary slips, and raise HR requests on the mobile app. HR stops being a help desk and starts focusing on people strategy.
  3. HR Monitors and Decides — HR dashboards show who is on leave today, whose probation ends this month, which departments have high absenteeism, and who is due for increment. Actionable insights instead of chasing information from managers.

Frequently asked questions

What is HR management software for Indian companies?

HR management software automates and streamlines the daily operations of an HR department — employee records, leave tracking, attendance, payroll, and performance management. For Indian companies, the primary pain points it solves are: (1) manual payroll calculations with Indian statutory compliance, (2) leave tracking in Excel with no visibility for managers, (3) scattered employee documents across email and physical files, and (4) no audit trail for HR decisions during labour inspections.

How does HR management software help labour compliance?

Indian labour laws require documentation of employee appointments, salary payment records, PF contributions, ESI filings, and attendance registers. HR management software maintains all these records digitally — the electronic attendance register is valid under the Factories Act and Shops & Establishments Acts in most states. EPFO and ESIC inspection queries can be answered with exported records rather than physical registers.

Can HR software handle multiple employee salary grades?

Yes. Avani supports unlimited salary grades — you can define different structures for junior staff, middle management, and senior leadership. Each grade has its own Basic:HRA ratio, allowance components, PF applicability, and TDS treatment. Grade-wise increment percentages can be set during appraisal cycles. This handles everything from entry-level employees at ₹15,000/month to senior employees at ₹5 lakh/month in the same system.

What Indian leave types are supported?

Avani supports all standard Indian leave types: Casual Leave (CL), Earned/Privilege Leave (EL/PL), Sick Leave (SL), Compensatory Off (Comp-Off), Maternity Leave (26 weeks for deliveries per Maternity Benefit Amendment Act 2017), Paternity Leave, Bereavement Leave, Study Leave, and custom leave types specific to your company policy. Leave rules — accrual, carry-forward, encashment — are configurable per leave type.

How does the software handle employee exit settlement?

When an employee resigns or is terminated, Avani triggers an exit workflow: (1) notice period calculation, (2) exit checklist for asset recovery and knowledge transfer, (3) final attendance and leave balance computation, (4) advance/loan recovery from final pay, (5) salary calculation for days worked in the last month, and (6) generation of experience letter and Form 16 data. The full and final settlement amount is calculated automatically with all deductions itemised.
