One employee record every module reads from
Preboarding, onboarding, attendance, payroll and compliance all read the same record. No re-keying, no spreadsheet reconciliation, no two versions of the same employee.
- Effective-dated everything
- Designation, CTC, location and cost centre changes are dated, so payroll recomputes from the right day instead of the day you typed it.
- Profile change requests
- Employees request changes to their details; HR approves before the record updates.
- On-roll, contract, apprentice
- Different employment types carry different statutory obligations — the record knows which apply.

Payroll you can defend
Every payroll decision has a rule, a reviewer and a record.
Statutory payroll in India changes by state, by wage band and by month. DocklyOne People keeps each rule versioned, checks inputs before the run, and keeps the evidence your auditors will ask for.
Payroll & compliance in detail- Step 1
Rules with a history
PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS rules are versioned with effective dates and amendment reasons. Changes can’t rewrite a processed month.
- Step 2
Checks before the run
Minimum wage screening, attendance and LOP inputs, salary coverage and pay-group assignment are validated before payroll starts.
- Step 3
Maker and checker
The person who prepares a payroll run can’t approve it. Every approval, hold and rollback is recorded.
- Step 4
Evidence after payment
Bank and portal references for salary, PF, ESI and PT are recorded and verified by a second person. Nothing is paid or filed from DocklyOne People.
Enterprise controls
Built for the people who sign off on HR systems.
Hosted in Mumbai
AWS ap-south-1 on managed Postgres, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Tenant isolation
Row-level security on every table, tested automatically on every release.
Roles, server-checked
Owner, admin, HR, payroll, manager, employee and auditor roles, plus custom roles.
Append-only audit trail
Who changed what, when and why — reviewable by HR and auditors.
DPDP-ready terms
You are the data fiduciary; DocklyOne People processes employee data on your instructions.

Designed for controlled operationsPermissions · approvals · audit evidence
Which countries does DocklyOne People support?+
Payroll and statutory compliance are built for India today: PF/EPS, ESI, professional tax by state, LWF, TDS, gratuity and minimum wage screening. Employee records can hold people in any country; payroll for the US, UK, Canada and Australia is on our roadmap.
Can anyone run payroll without a second approval?+
No. The person who prepares a payroll run can’t approve it, and every approval, hold and rollback is written to the audit trail.
Where is our data, and who can see it?+
Production runs in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1). Each workspace is isolated by row-level security on every table, and access follows server-checked roles. Under India’s DPDP Act you are the data fiduciary and DocklyOne People is your processor.
What does the AI actually do?+
Ask HR AI answers how-to questions using Anthropic Claude and our public help guides only — no employee, salary, bank or identity data is sent — and answers personal questions from records the person can already see. Autopilot recommendations are rule-based; a person decides.
How does migration from Keka, greytHR or Zoho work?+
You bring exports, map fields once, and approve a preview of what will be created before anything is imported. Imports retry themselves after temporary interruptions, and an employee import can be rolled back.
Do you have SOC 2, SSO or an API?+
Not yet. We don’t hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, and SSO (SAML) and a public API are on the roadmap. We share our control evidence during your security review.
