Built for Nepal, End to End
Four things NepalHRM puts in writing that a buyer usually has to ask a salesperson for.
Attendance and payroll in one
Biometric punches flow straight into Nepal-compliant payroll - no monthly CSV exports or reconciliation between separate tools.
Full HR suite
Beyond attendance: recruitment, onboarding, leave, performance, and a mobile app - one login instead of stitched-together point tools.
Compliance built in
PF, CIT, SSF and eTDS are native, with a CIT Optimizer that recommends the maximum legal contribution.
Free to start
Free forever for up to 10 employees, so a small team can move at no cost as the new fiscal year begins.
Switching HR Software Is Where the Pain Actually Is
Feature lists are the easy part of the decision. What decides whether a switch goes well is the migration itself, and almost none of it is about which platform has more modules.
- Moving mid-year means recalculating tax that has already been deducted
- Leave and CIT opening balances get rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet
- Employee data leaves the old system in one shape and the new one expects another
- The old system stays open for months because nobody trusts the new numbers yet
Move at the Fiscal-Year Changeover
Ashad to Shrawan is the cleanest moment to switch. You start the new year with clean opening balances and skip the mid-year tax recalculation entirely.
What you get on the way in
- Free onboarding support imports employees and configures Nepal tax defaults
- One click reinstalls the Nepal tax slabs, so the first run starts from correct rates
- Most teams complete their first payroll run within their first cycle
- Free forever up to 10 employees, so a small team can move at no cost
