Most LAMS systems are generic tools that leave compliance to you. Ours auto-enforces Factories Act, S&E Act, Maternity Benefit Act, and state-specific rules and alerts you when you’re at risk of non-compliance.
Leave and attendance data auto-flows to your payroll whether you use Asanify, Keka, Greythr, Zoho, SAP, or our own payroll system. No manual data transfer, no end-of-month reconciliation panic.
Office, WFH, hybrid, field biometric, mobile GPS, facial recognition, web punch-in. We capture attendance however your team works, unified into a single clean record.
Multi-level workflows with delegation, auto-escalation, and WhatsApp approvals mean no leave request waits for a busy manager to log in. 2-minute average approval time.
Our onboarding process gets your leave policies configured, attendance devices connected, and employees on the app in 5–10 working days. No long enterprise implementation projects.
HR teams spend 20–30% of their time answering leave balance queries, chasing managers for approvals, and reconciling attendance with payroll. Our system eliminates all of it.

“We’d spent four months trying to hire engineers in India — entities, lawyers, CA firms, all of it. Hemiton Global onboarded our first three in eleven days. Our account manager knew our business, our comp bands, and our compliance concerns before the first payroll ran. It didn’t feel like a vendor relationship. It felt like an extension of our team.”

Indian leave and attendance is complex state-specific S&E acts, factory regulations, maternity entitlements, biometric mandates, and multi-shift operations. We built this system for that complexity, not adapted a generic global product for it.
Average time to go live from onboarding kickoff
Leave requests resolved without HR intervention
We follow a structured onboarding process to understand your current compliance status, identify gaps, and take ownership of all obligations typically within 2 weeks.
We understand your current processes, leave policies, attendance setup, and payroll system to design the right configuration.
Your leave types, accrual rules, carry-forward logic, approval chains, and holiday calendars configured in the system.
Biometric device integration or GPS app configured. Shifts defined. Regularisation rules set. Device testing completed.
Connected to your HRMS or payroll system. LOP, overtime, and encashment mapping validated. Test payroll run done.
Employees receive app invites, managers trained on approval workflows. HR gets dashboard access. You're live.
Yes — this is one of our strongest differentiators. The system auto-enforces minimum leave entitlements under the Factories Act (1 day per 20 days worked), state Shops & Establishments Acts (state-wise CL/EL/SL minima), and the Maternity Benefit Act (26 weeks). If your configured policy falls below the statutory minimum for any applicable act or state, the system flags it before it goes live. You can also run a compliance report at any time to see your leave policies mapped against statutory requirements.
We integrate with all major biometric device brands used in India — ZKTeco, eSSL (Essl Technologies), Suprema, Realtime, Matrix, Anviz, and BioMax. Integration is via the device’s API or SDK, and we handle the integration setup as part of onboarding. If you have a device not on this list, our team evaluates compatibility — we’ve successfully integrated with 20+ device models. Alternatively, our mobile GPS punch-in eliminates the need for physical devices.
At payroll cutoff (configurable — typically 25th or 28th of the month), the system compiles the attendance summary: days present, LOP days, overtime hours, and leave encashment entitlements. This data is pushed automatically to your payroll system via API — whether that’s Keka, Greythr, Ascent, Zoho, SAP, or our own payroll module. Your payroll team sees a pre-payroll discrepancy report before finalisation and approves the data push. No manual data entry or Excel exports.
Absolutely — our policy engine is designed for exactly this. You can configure different policies by department (engineering vs sales), grade (manager vs staff), office location (head office vs branch), or employment type (permanent vs contractual). State-specific statutory requirements are auto-applied based on the employee’s work location — so your Karnataka employees automatically get the Karnataka S&E Act entitlements, and Maharashtra employees get Maharashtra rules.
The system maintains a digital equivalent of Form 15 (Register of Leave with Wages under the Factories Act) in real time. For inspections, you can generate a printed or PDF version of all mandatory registers — Form 15, muster roll with attendance, overtime register — pre-formatted to the statutory layout. Most of our manufacturing clients have passed labour inspections with zero non-compliance issues on leave and attendance records.
Typically 8–10 working days from onboarding kickoff to your employees being live on the system. Day 1–2 is policy configuration, Day 3–6 is attendance device setup and testing, Day 6–8 is payroll integration, and Day 8–10 is employee onboarding and manager training. For companies with complex multi-location setups or custom device integrations, this can extend to 15 working days. We handle all configuration — no IT resources needed on your side.
Set up in 10 days. Integrated with your payroll from day one. Statutory compliance built in. Your HR team gets back 20+ hours a month.
