Frequently asked questions
Everything about empliHR — pricing, attendance, payroll, security and getting started.
General
empliHR is an all-in-one HR platform for growing companies. It brings employee records, GPS attendance, leave, payroll, recruitment, performance, field tracking, training, claims, documents and an AI assistant together on the web and on iOS and Android.
Companies from a handful of employees to several hundred, especially teams with staff on the shop floor, in the field and in the office — retail, manufacturing, logistics, services, BPO and education.
Yes. Payroll handles EPF, ETF and APIT, prices are shown in LKR for Sri Lankan companies, and the platform is designed around local HR practices. Companies outside Sri Lanka can use it too, with pricing in US dollars.
Every module reads from one employee record. Clock-ins feed payroll, approved leave updates balances and attendance, and managers see their team live — so numbers agree and nothing is copied between files.
Pricing & billing
Pricing is per active employee (seat). In Sri Lanka it is LKR 349 per employee per month on monthly billing, or LKR 299 per employee per month on yearly billing. Outside Sri Lanka it is $3 or $2 per employee per month. See pricing →

Attendance & leave
Employees clock in from the mobile app. empliHR checks they are inside the work location (geofence) you set before accepting the punch, so attendance cannot be faked from home. Attendance features →
