Can payroll software keep up with changing tax rates?
Yes, if tax slabs and statutory deductions are stored as rules with an effective date rather than typed into formulas. When a budget changes the rates, a new rule applies from its start date, past payroll runs stay exactly as they were, and nobody has to rebuild a spreadsheet before the next month-end. MatrixHR keeps tax slabs and statutory contribution rules in a rule set versioned by effective date, so a new budget applies from the day it starts.
Which biometric devices work with payroll software?
ZKTeco terminals are among the most widely used biometric devices in offices and factories, and most payroll software that supports biometrics starts with them. What matters is that punches flow into attendance and then into payroll by themselves, without anyone exporting a file and typing it in again at month-end. MatrixHR takes ZKTeco punches alongside browser clock-ins, and both feed the same payroll run.

Can managers approve leave on WhatsApp?
Yes, if the HR software sends the leave request to the manager’s WhatsApp and accepts the reply as an approval. The safe way is a one-time code tied to that single request, so a forwarded message cannot approve anyone else’s leave and every decision can be traced back to the manager who made it. In MatrixHR, managers approve or reject leave from WhatsApp with a one-time code that expires in 24 hours.
How much does HR software cost?
HR software is priced either per employee per month or at a flat monthly rate by company size. Per-employee pricing looks cheap for a small team and grows with every hire, while a flat rate is easier to budget. Check whether payroll, attendance devices and payslips cost extra. MatrixHR is flat-rate: $25 a month for up to 25 employees, $69 for up to 100 with payroll, and $149 for up to 300, with a 30-day free trial.
