Key takeaways
- Six to eight weeks for a straightforward implementation; three to five months with attendance, accounting and HR integrations.
- Payroll needs a parallel run alongside your current process before you switch, so allow a cycle or two beyond the build.
- If you are also buying HR management, one system is usually cheaper: payroll depends on attendance, leave and the employee master.
- Tell us what the current process actually is — a product you have outgrown, a spreadsheet, or an outsourced provider. Each needs a different migration.
DECK IT, Ahmedabad, builds payroll management software that calculates salaries, statutory deductions and tax forms for small and mid-sized Indian businesses, on its own or as part of the HRMS. Payroll Management solutions focus on calculating and processing employee pay, generating tax forms and benefits administration. This can be part of a larger HRM solution. Using a dedicated Payroll Management solution centralizes a myriad of payroll processes to a single platform, which has tools to handle the payroll functions more efficiently and accurately. A payroll software would help mitigate human errors while administering the payroll and remain compliant to the statutory regulations. With solutions being customized for enterprises of various sizes, companies are opting for automated payroll solutions. The growth rate of automated payroll services is projected at 7 % per year. It is estimated that 70-80 % of the payroll costs are due to payroll labour and administrative expenses, which can be saved using payroll solutions. Payroll activity includes various functions. To ensure the payroll is compliant with respective statutory laws, multiple activities need to be done. Manual handling of the varied tasks creates a scope for error, which could impact the entire payroll. Error in one payslip impacts an employee's payment, which could further lead to legal and statutory complications. Automated payroll solutions help to manage the payroll and ensure statutory compliance efficiently. Using our solution, you can handle various payroll activities, including maintenance of information (employee, compensation, time, leave etc.), data cleansing & processing, payroll calculation, preparing payroll checks or transfer, generating tax forms, and managing off-cycle payroll, auditing, year-end accounting etc. Our employee self-service platform integrated with the Payroll Management solution would help remove a few of the payroll team's administrative overheads. Payroll Management solution is an integrated end-end payroll processing solution that is crafted, keeping in mind the companies' various requirements. Error-free payroll processing and 100 % statutory compliance form the foundation of the solution that we provide. The solution is easy to use and can be accessed on multiple platforms, allowing payroll management on the go. It is integrated with attendance and leave systems, allowing for seamless movement of payroll data eliminating redundant data entry. Payroll solution can be used as a stand-alone solution or integrated with our HRM solution for a complete HRM platform. You can opt for any specific services and leave out the rest, as per your requirement.

Payroll inside an HRMS, or separate?
One system, if you are buying HR management too: payroll depends on attendance, leave and the employee master, and splitting them creates reconciliation work every month.
| Part of an HRMS | Separate payroll | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly reconciliation | None — one employee master | Attendance and leave matched by hand or by integration |
| Fits when | You are buying HR management too | You intend to keep your existing HR system |
| Timeline | Three to five months for both | Six to eight weeks |
| Risk at month end | Lower | Depends on the integration holding |
Payroll software: questions we get asked
How long does a payroll system take to implement?
Six to eight weeks for a straightforward implementation, three to five months where it has to integrate with attendance, accounting and an existing HR system. Payroll is unusual in that it also needs a parallel run alongside your current process before you can switch, so allow a cycle or two for that.
What does payroll software cost?
Most projects we quote fall between ₹5 lakh and ₹40 lakh, roughly $6,000 to $50,000, as a fixed price for a defined scope. A payroll implementation alone usually sits at the lower end unless it carries several integrations.
Can you move us off our existing payroll process?
Yes. The practical question is what the current process actually is — a product you have outgrown, a spreadsheet, or an outsourced provider — because each needs a different migration. Tell us which, and what has to keep working, in your first message.
Should payroll be part of an HRMS or separate?
If you are also buying HR management, one system is usually the cheaper answer: payroll depends on attendance, leave and the employee master, and keeping those in two places creates reconciliation work every month. Separate payroll makes sense when the HR system is one you intend to keep.
