One platform, every stage of the employee lifecycle

From a QR-code job application through to the final settlement on exit.

Org structure & access

Your company, your vocabulary — not a fixed template.

Company-defined structure

Designations, teams, custom fields, and leave types are yours to name — SetuWork provides the mechanism, not the list.

Interactive org chart

Everyone sees the real reporting lines — a collapsible, photo-backed chart, not a spreadsheet that's already out of date.

Self-service profiles

Employees update their own details; changes go live only once they clear your approval chain, so your records stay accurate without extra HR admin.

Configurable approval chains

Leave, profile edits, asset requests, and data imports each route through an approval chain your company defines — including no approval at all, if that's what you want.

Per-role, per-person visibility

Decide exactly which menu items and features each job title — or one specific employee — can see and use.

Sensitive data protection

Fields you mark sensitive are encrypted at rest and masked by default in the UI — visible in full only on an explicit, logged reveal.

Attendance & leave

Clock in / clock out

Location-tagged attendance, plus manual entry and bulk Excel import with row-level validation.

Leave balances

Company-defined leave types accrue and deduct automatically as requests move through approval.

Escalating approval by leave length

A short request can route straight to the direct manager; a longer one automatically escalates further up — thresholds you set.

Comp-off & discretionary leave

Bank compensatory time for days worked on a week off, or award bonus leave outside the standard policy as a one-off.

Holiday calendar

Company-wide or region-specific holidays, visible to every employee and factored into leave calculations.

Fiscal-year-aware accrual

Leave resets on your own fiscal or calendar year — not a hardcoded January–December cycle.

Payroll

Configurable salary structure

Define your own salary heads — earnings, contributions, deductions — each independently loss-of-pay sensitive or fixed.

Pro-rated calculation

Monthly payroll automatically pro-rates against actual days payable, factoring in unpaid leave — and refuses to finalize a payslip for a month attendance was never marked for, so nobody gets paid off missing data by accident.

Statutory compliance built in

Provident Fund (rate + wage ceiling) and Professional Tax (state-specific, gender- and month-aware slabs) computed automatically once configured.

Generated payslips

A standard payslip PDF, auto-populated from company and employee profile data, downloadable, previewed before sending, or emailed in bulk.

Bulk payroll import

Bring a previous month's salary sheet in via Excel, matched to the right employee automatically to avoid mismatches.

Transparent subscription billing

See your own invoice history and wallet balance at any time — no surprise line items.

Recruitment & onboarding

QR-code intake

Candidates apply through a self-service form — no manual data entry for HR.

Custom application questions

Add your own screening fields to the public form — text, dropdown, or a resume/document upload.

Configurable interview rounds

Define your own pipeline stages, record interviewer decisions, and move candidates through automatically.

Offer & appointment letters

Generated PDFs, emailed directly from the platform, right through to employee conversion.

Documents & communication

Everything generated for you, everyone kept in the loop.

Automatic document generation

Offer letters, appointment letters, payslips, and asset acknowledgment sheets — always formatted, never manually typed.

Employee document vault

ID proofs, certificates, and signed letters stored against each employee record — not scattered across email threads.

Policies & announcements

Publish company policies to exactly the roles who should see them, and put announcements front-and-center on every dashboard.

Notification center

Every actionable event — an approval waiting, a document ready, a policy update — shows up with a live unread count.

Security, built in

Not an add-on — the same protections apply from the day you register.

Branded company login

Your own logo and colors on your company's dedicated login page, so employees always know they're in the right place.

Two-factor authentication

Optional email one-time codes on login, with a trusted-device window so real users aren't re-challenged constantly.

Session idle-lock

The app locks and asks for a password again after a period of inactivity — configurable for your whole company, right down to a specific role.

Full audit log

Every configuration change and data-altering action is logged with who, what, and when.

Anomaly alerts

Admins are notified automatically of failed-login spikes, unusually large data exports, and off-hours access to sensitive fields.

Bot & abuse protection

Rate-limiting and invisible CAPTCHA on public-facing forms, with extra friction only after repeated failed attempts.

Assets, search & offboarding

Asset tracking

Catalog what you issue, track individual items, and let employees request what they need through the same approval engine.

Global search

Find employees, policies, candidates, and asset records from a single search bar, anywhere in the app.

Offboarding workflow

Resignation, notice period, exit interview, final settlement, and access revocation — one workflow, start to finish.

Backups & your own data

Automated backups

Your data backs up independently to your own Google Drive — on change, nightly, or on demand — in both a plain Excel copy and an encrypted restore file.

Import & export everywhere

Bulk Excel import with validation for employees, attendance, salary, and assets; export any filtered list to Excel or PDF with your own choice of columns.

Advanced customization, when you need it

The features below are enabled per company on request — start on the standard platform, and grow into these as your needs get more specific.

Payroll formula engine Advanced

Compute salary components from a formula or attendance data instead of a flat amount — built with a simple field-picker, no code required.

Document designer Advanced

Design your own letter and slip layouts by dragging fields into place, or create entirely new document types beyond the built-in ones.

Custom field groups Advanced

Organize your custom fields under named headings, like "Bank Details," instead of one flat list.

Configurable email templates Advanced

Customize the subject and body of every automated email the platform sends, with a live preview against real data.
