Instead of PHPPayroll

PHPPayroll alternatives

PHPPayroll combines payroll calculations with attendance, leave, and a wide set of HR modules in a PHP and MySQL system. It supports different employee schedules and pay structures, including task-based and project-based work, and offers tax filing, contractor payments, and multi-currency payments. Employees can update personal details, request leave, access payslips, and raise grievances through self-service. Attendance can connect to biometric devices, RFID cards, and mobile tracking, with real-time reports. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, the web, or a self-hosted setup.
