Built for the Indian payroll month — and the audit after it.
DocklyOne People is enterprise HR and payroll, built for India. Six reasons it is built the way it is — and the gaps we are open about.
- 01
Statutory payroll that changes only through governance
PF/EPS, ESI, professional tax, LWF, TDS and gratuity are effective-dated rules — draft, scheduled, active, superseded — each with an amendment reason. When a state revises PT, you add a version; past runs keep the rule they used.
In the product: Rule history on every statutory component - 02
Maker-checker, with evidence
The person who prepares a payroll run cannot approve it. Bank and portal references are recorded against the run and verified by a second person. DocklyOne People never moves money or files on your behalf.
In the product: payroll.run_submitted → payroll.run_approved - 03
Tenant isolation and an audit trail you can show
Row-level security on every table, tested automatically on every change. Private document storage. An append-only audit trail and a read-only auditor role. Hosted in AWS Mumbai.
In the product: Auditor role · audit retention policy - 04
India statutory depth, not a localisation layer
Professional tax by state and work location, LWF, minimum wage screening before payroll, tax declarations and full and final settlement — alongside CL/SL/EL starter policies, sandwich rule and encashment.
In the product: Minimum wage flags before the run, not after - 05
Migration you can preview and undo
Move from Keka, greytHR, Zoho People / Payroll or spreadsheets with guided mapping. You approve a scope preview before anything imports, paused imports retry on their own, and an employee import can be rolled back.
In the product: Preview → approve → import → rollback if needed - 06
AI with clear limits
Ask HR AI answers personal questions from records you can already see, without a model, and how-to questions from our Help Center using Anthropic Claude — PII-scrubbed and cited. Autopilot is rule-based; a person decides.
In the product: No salary or identity data sent to a model
What we don't do yet.
An HR system holds salaries, IDs and bank details. You should know its limits before you sign, not after. If one of these is a hard requirement today, we will tell you in the first call.
We are also not yet SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified. Our security posture.
- SSO / SAML
- Single sign-on through your identity provider is not available yet, and neither is SCIM provisioning.
- Public API
- No public REST API or webhooks yet. Data moves in and out through imports and reports.
- Payroll outside India
- US, UK, Canada and Australia packs are on the roadmap, not in the product.
- Native mobile app
- Self-service is responsive web and works in a phone browser.
