Frequently Asked Questions

Is Zoho People cheaper than GreytHR?

For paid plans, Zoho People Essential at ₹50/employee/month is cheaper than GreytHR's comparable plan (~₹100/employee). However, GreytHR is free up to 25 employees — so for businesses under 25 staff, GreytHR is cheapest. Above 25 employees, Zoho People wins on price.

Does Zoho People include payroll and PF/ESI compliance?

No — Zoho People is HRMS only. For payroll and statutory compliance (PF, ESI, TDS, PT), add Zoho Payroll at ₹33/employee/month. The combined product handles complete Indian payroll compliance and integrates seamlessly with Zoho People.

Can I import employee data from Excel into Zoho People?

Yes — Zoho People has a built-in CSV/Excel importer. We typically import employee master, leave balances, designation history, and reporting hierarchy. The full import for a 50-person company takes 30-60 minutes and is included in our setup service.

Does Zoho People work with biometric attendance devices in India?

Yes. Zoho People integrates with Mantra, eSSL, Realtime, Anviz, and other popular biometric devices used in India. The integration pulls daily attendance logs into Zoho People for leave and payroll processing.

Is Zoho People mobile-friendly for field employees in India?

Yes. Mobile apps for iOS and Android allow employees to mark attendance (with GPS geo-fencing), apply for leave, view payslips, and complete tasks. Field employees and remote workers use the mobile app heavily — most Indian Zoho People deployments are 70%+ mobile.
