Runtime HRMS: Fully Customizable HR & Payroll Software

Every business is different. A 12-person trading company in Jaipur runs a simple monthly payroll with basic PF and ESI. A 150-person manufacturing unit in Pune runs three shifts, integrates with biometric machines, tracks contract workers separately, and processes factory overtime at 2× the ordinary rate. A 60-person IT company in Bengaluru has remote employees, flexible hours, project timesheets, and performance-linked variable pay.

Same software. Completely different requirements.

At Runtime HRMS, we built the platform to configure around your business — not force your business to fit around the platform.

Here’s exactly what that means in practice.

Runtime HRMS: Fully Customizable HR & Payroll Software

Customizable Salary Structures

Every company has different payroll structure, no two companies structure salary the same way. Some have complex allowance structures with 8–10 components. Some have variable pay tied to targets. Some have night shift allowances, production incentives, and site allowances on top of fixed pay.

Runtime HRMS handles all of it — because you define the structure, not us.

You configure the salary components you need — Basic, HRA, conveyance, special allowance, performance bonus, night shift allowance, whatever applies to your business. You set the calculation rule for each component — fixed amount, percentage of basic, or formula-based. You assign the right structure to each employee or employee category. And payroll runs automatically on the structure you defined, every month.

The 50% basic rule under the Code on Wages 2019 is built into the configuration logic. If your structure doesn’t comply, the system flags it — so you fix it before it becomes a compliance problem, not after.

Flexible Attendance Policies

This is where generic HRMS software fails most visibly. The system has a fixed idea of what “present” means — in by 9:30am, out by 6:30pm, any deviation is late or absent. But your business doesn’t work that way.

Your sales team is on the road. Your factory runs three shifts. Your senior managers have flexible hours. Your field service engineers work from client sites.

Runtime HRMS attendance is configured separately for each employee category. Factory workers on biometric devices. Field employees on GPS-verified mobile attendance with geo-fencing. Office staff on geo-tagged selfie attendance. Senior employees on flexible in-time with no late marking.

Geo-fencing radius is configurable — you set how close an employee needs to be to a valid location to mark attendance. Shift timings, shift rotations, and shift allowances are configured for each shift. Grace periods, early departure rules, and half-day cutoffs are set to match your policy.

All of this sits in the admin panel — no developer, no implementation consultant, no custom quote.

Configurable Leave Policies

Leave policy is one of the most company-specific things in HR. The number of days, the carry-forward limit, the encashment rules, the approval workflow — every company has its own version.

You define your leave types in Runtime HRMS. You set the annual entitlement, the accrual rule (monthly credit, annual credit, or joining-date based), the carry-forward limit, and the encashment policy. You configure whether leave requires a reason, whether it needs manager approval or HR approval or both, and what happens when leave is applied on a holiday.

The leave balance updates automatically when leave is approved. The encashment calculation flows directly into the FnF settlement when an employee exits. Nothing manual, nothing to remember separately.

Completely Flexible Plans That Fit Every Stage of Growth

This is where Runtime HRMS is fundamentally different from most enterprise HR software. You don’t buy a large platform and hope you grow into it. You start with exactly what you need and add as your business grows.

Free Plan — 0 to 5 employees

For businesses just starting out. Full payroll, attendance, leave, compliance, and employee self-service — completely free for up to 5 employees. No credit card. No time limit. When you grow beyond 5, you switch to a paid plan without losing any data.

Seed — ₹35/employee/month

For small businesses with straightforward needs. Payroll, attendance, leaves, PF and ESI compliance, 50+ reports, employee self-service, WhatsApp notifications, and AI reporting — all included. Billed annually. Minimum 10 employees.

Growth — ₹50/employee/month

For businesses that need more HR depth. Everything in Seed plus HR letters, HR policies, onboarding forms, income tax compliance (TDS, Form 130), shift rostering, and biometric integration — with one biometric device included free. Travel tracking, performance management, and project management available as addons at ₹10, ₹15, and ₹499 per month respectively.

Scale — ₹75/employee/month

For growing companies with full HR requirements. Everything in Growth plus travel tracking, performance management, and project management all included — no addon pricing. Flexible billing — monthly, quarterly, or annual.

Startup Plan — ₹7,200/year

For early-stage businesses. Everything in the Seed plan for up to 40 employees at a fixed annual price — works out to ₹15 per employee per month for a 40-person team. Designed for businesses that want cost certainty while they scale.

“All plans include live chat support, email and ticket support, AI chatbot (24×7), and 2 Google Meet support sessions per month.”

Add Only What You Need

If you have 100 employees but only 15 are field sales staff who need GPS travel tracking — you pay the travel tracking addon for 15 employees, not 100. Same for performance management — if you run formal appraisals for 40 employees and the rest are on a simpler review process, you pay for 40.

Addons That You Can Choose According To Organization Need

Available addons:

• Travel Tracking — ₹10/employee/month (field employees only)
• Performance Management — ₹15/employee/month
• Project Management — ₹499/month (flat, unlimited users)
• Additional biometric devices — ₹299/device/month
• Additional HR portal users — ₹249/user/month

Customization Requests — Beyond Configuration

This is something most software companies don’t offer — and it reflects how we think about building Runtime HRMS.

When a customer identifies something the platform doesn’t do that would genuinely improve it — a new report format, a compliance requirement specific to an industry, a workflow that a category of businesses needs — we review it. If it makes sense for the broader platform, we build it.

This isn’t custom development for one client. It’s collaborative product development with 80,000+ users who collectively understand what Indian businesses actually need from HR software.
