HR & Payroll operations · Made for Indian businesses

Your HR team stops typing. AI drafts it.
They just validate.

Upload an Aadhaar, a receipt or a resume. Klok reads it, fills the fields and shows you the document beside the draft, with anything it is unsure about flagged. You glance, correct if needed, confirm. Nothing is ever saved without a human saying yes.

The difference

Same month-end. Two very different weeks.

The way it runs today

  • ×Joining papers arrive as photos on WhatsApp; someone retypes them into Excel
  • ×Attendance is a register, a biometric export and three follow-up calls
  • ×Leave balances are argued about, because two people keep two sheets
  • ×Salary sheet takes three days, gets re-checked twice, and still has a mistake
  • ×PF, ESI and PT are worked out by hand each month against last month’s file
  • ×Nobody can answer “how many people did we actually pay last March?” quickly

The way it runs on Klok

  • Upload the document — AI reads it and drafts the record, you confirm
  • Employees punch from their own phone; the register builds itself
  • One leave ledger, policy-driven, with balances everyone can see
  • Payroll runs in minutes and flags only the exceptions worth your attention
  • PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS computed on every run, with the artefacts to file
  • Any month, any register, exported to CSV in one click — it is your data

How it works

From document to record, in three moves

1

Capture

Snap the Aadhaar, the receipt, the joining form — or let the employee upload it themselves from the invite link.

2

AI drafts

Klok reads the document, fills every field it can, and flags anything it was unsure about. Nothing is saved yet.

3

You validate

Document on the left, draft on the right. Glance, correct, confirm — the record is written only when a human says yes.

Getting started

What actually happens in your first afternoon

No consultant, no implementation fee, no six-week project plan. This is the whole thing, in order.

0:00

Create the company

Name, state, and your working week. Klok sets the statutory defaults for your state so you are not choosing PF and PT rates on day one.

0:15

Bring your people in

Drop in the Excel you already keep. Klok maps the columns, shows you what it read, and you confirm. Or forward the joining documents and let the validator draft each record.

0:45

Set the rules once

Shifts, weekly offs, holidays and leave policies. Pick a template, adjust what differs, save. These are the rules that then run every month by themselves.

1:15

Invite the team

One message goes out. Employees open it on their phone, set a password and can punch in — no app store, no training session.

1:30

Watch the first punch land

Someone marks attendance and it appears on your screen with a timestamp nobody typed. That is the system live.

Later

Add payroll when you are ready

Salary structures, statutory computation and payslips can wait until the attendance data has a full cycle behind it. Most owners switch it on in month two.

Stuck at any step? A human replies — but the point is that you should not need one.

The system

Everything an HR team needs, nothing it doesn't

Onboarding without data entry

Send one invite link. The joiner fills their own details and uploads their documents; the AI drafts the employee record; HR validates in about 30 seconds. Zero retyping, ever.

How it works →

Attendance that captures itself

Phone punch with selfie and location. Late marks, half days, overtime and night shifts judged by your policy — not a spreadsheet formula.

See attendance →

Leave with real balances

Apply, approve — the balance and register update themselves.

Expenses read from the receipt

Snap the bill; AI fills merchant, date, amount, GST.

Approvals that escalate

Anything sitting past its SLA moves up the chain on its own.

HR knowledge base

Your policies become answers employees can ask in plain words.

WhatsApp-native. 10 languages.

Alerts where your team already looks; a UI every employee reads in their own language.

Payroll day, without the argument

A register you can defend to anyone

Because punches, leave and claims are captured as they happen — not reconstructed at month-end — every number is defensible: who was in, who was on approved leave, what was reimbursed and who signed off on it.

  • Day register with late, half-day and overtime judged by policy
  • Leave balances per type, per financial year of each entity
  • Expense claims with the receipt attached to every line
  • An immutable audit trail behind every approval
Built for Indian payroll

The statutory work, computed on every run

Klok produces the artefacts your accountant and your auditor ask for. You review the numbers — the arithmetic is not your job.

Provident Fund
Employee and employer shares, pension split and the ceiling applied per employee, per run.
ESI
Contribution on eligible wages, with the wage limit and contribution-period rules applied automatically.
Professional Tax
State-wise slabs — because PT in Maharashtra is not PT in Karnataka.
Labour Welfare Fund
Applied in the months your state actually deducts it, at the employee and employer rates.
TDS on salary
Regime-aware computation across the year, with declarations and proofs held against the employee.
Payslips & Form 16 inputs
Generated from the run itself — not re-keyed into a separate template.
Bank transfer file
The payment file in your bank’s format, from the same approved run.
Registers & returns data
Attendance, leave, payroll and statutory registers, exportable whenever an inspector or auditor asks.
An audit trail you can show
Who approved what, when, with remarks — recorded as work happens, never editable after the fact.

Klok computes and produces these from your data and the rates you confirm. Filing, and the accuracy of what you file, stays with you and your advisor.

Sound familiar?

Onboarding is retyping

Someone reads the Aadhaar, the PAN and the offer letter, then types it all into a form. Every joiner, every time.

Attendance lives on WhatsApp

Half days and leave arrive as messages, get missed, and surface as an argument on payroll day.

Expense claims are a shoebox

Photos of bills, a spreadsheet, and a week of reconciliation nobody wants to own.

If two of the three sound familiar, the trial will pay for itself before the first payroll cut-off. Start free →

The questions owners actually ask

What if the AI reads a document wrong?

You see the document and the draft side by side, with anything Klok is unsure about flagged. Nothing is written until you press confirm — so a misread costs you a correction, never a wrong record.

Do I need someone technical to set this up?

No. There is no server to install and no configuration project. If you can keep an employee list in Excel, you can set Klok up yourself in an afternoon.

We already have years of data in Excel. Does it come in?

Yes — employees, salary structures and leave balances import from your existing sheets with a preview step, so you see exactly what Klok read before anything is saved.

Can my workers use it? Most are not office staff.

They punch from their own phone, in their own language, and it works on a basic Android. Attendance can also come from your existing biometric device.

What happens to my data if I leave?

You export every record to CSV whenever you want, including after you cancel. There is no lock-in and no exit fee — that is a deliberate product decision, not a concession.

Is payroll included from day one?

It is a separate tier, and most owners switch it on in month two once attendance has run a full cycle. You are not forced to move everything at once.
