01One system
The whole employee lifecycle
Not a point tool you have to glue to four others. Everything below is included from the first day of your trial.
Employee records
One profile per person: personal details, reporting line, documents, bank and ID. Employees raise change requests and keep their own bank details current; HR approves with a full audit trail and confirms the account against the uploaded proof.
Attendance
Clock in and out with breaks, duplicate-entry prevention, correction requests and manager approvals. Export any month to CSV.
Leave
Apply, approve and cancel with working-day maths that already knows your holiday calendar. Balances, comp-off and a shared team calendar.
Payroll & payslips
Salary structures with configurable earnings and deductions — Basic, HRA, PF, TDS, Professional Tax — monthly runs that pro-rate mid-month joiners, and payslip PDFs with an email to each employee when theirs is published.
Documents
A secure vault with type and size validation, HR verification, short-lived signed download links, and an access log of every view.
Performance & probation
Review cycles with competency ratings, manager and self reviews, and probation confirmation or extension on a clear timeline.
Assets
Track laptops, phones and access cards. Assign on joining, record condition, and recover them automatically at exit clearance.
Policies & announcements
Publish versioned policies and capture acknowledgements, so you can prove who accepted which version and when.
Onboarding & offboarding
Candidate invite, consent capture, offer letter PDF and acceptance — through to exit clearance and full-and-final settlement.
02How it works

One record follows each person through their whole time with you. Keep scrolling — the timeline moves with you.

03Built for India
Not a global tool with a rupee symbol bolted on
The Indian defaults are in the foundations, not a settings page you have to fight.
Rupees, stored properly
Every amount is held as integer paise, so payroll totals never drift the way floating-point spreadsheets do.
April–March financial year
Leave quotas, payroll periods and reports all follow the Indian FY — not a January reset you have to work around.
Indian holiday calendar
New workspaces start with a public and restricted holiday list. Restricted holidays work the way they actually do — an optional quota per employee.
Asia/Kolkata throughout
Timestamps are stored in UTC and presented in IST, so a 9 pm clock-out never lands on the wrong day.
04Security
You are handing us your payroll file
So it is worth being specific about how it is protected, rather than showing you a padlock icon.
Encrypted where it matters
Bank, identity and tax fields are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest and masked in the UI by default. Revealing one is an audited event.
Real authentication
argon2id password hashing, account lockout after repeated failures, a sign-in history you can check, and one-click sign-out on every device at once.
Permissions enforced server-side
Six roles checked on the server for every route and action. The interface only hides what the server already refuses — not the other way round.
Audited by default
Who changed what, who viewed a bank account, who exported a report — recorded immutably, and never storing PINs, CVVs or UPI credentials.

06FAQ
Questions people actually ask
What happens when the 14-day trial ends?
Your data stays exactly where it is. Pick a plan to carry on, or leave the workspace idle — we do not delete anything without telling you first. No card is needed to start.
Does MusterHR file our PF, ESI or TDS returns?
No. MusterHR runs payroll and produces payslips with configurable components including PF, TDS and Professional Tax, but it does not compute statutory rates or file returns with the authorities. Your CA or filing agent still does that.
Can we import our existing employee data?
Yes. Write to hello@musterhr.com with your current spreadsheet or export and we will help you map and load it into your workspace.
Who can see salary and bank details?
Only roles you grant. Sensitive fields are encrypted and masked by default, and every reveal is written to the audit log with the user and timestamp attached.
Can we self-host it?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan. MusterHR ships as a Docker Compose stack with PostgreSQL, so it runs on your own server or private cloud.
How do employees sign in?
You invite them by email and they set their own password. Everyone gets self-service for attendance, leave, payslips, documents and policies from day one.
