Excel is a fine HR system until leave balances disagree, only one person can run cutoff, and payroll week is a scramble. An HRIS keeps employees, attendance, leave, loans, and payslips in one place — with local cutoff realities in mind, not a foreign template.
What version one covers
- Employee records and org structure.
- Leave requests and balances employees can see themselves.
- Timekeeping and payroll with PDF payslips.
- Admin, HR, and employee roles so access stays clean.
Signs you have outgrown Excel
Payroll takes more than a day. Two people cannot run cutoff without the “sheet owner.” You already hired someone whose main job is updating files. At that point a custom HRIS is usually cheaper than another full-time coordinator.
Starting price
HRIS and payroll systems start at ₱80,000. A short consultation is enough to map your current Excel process onto a first version. You can also read HRIS vs Excel Tracking if you want the case in writing first.
