One record for everyone you employ.
Zoho People keeps the employee record and everything attached to it: leave, attendance, shifts, timesheets, and reviews. HR sets the policy once, and the system applies it.

Talk to us →What one employee record changes.
- One record per employee across all your entities, with files, signed documents, and history in one place.
- Leave policies the system enforces: accruals, approvals, compensatory off, and holidays by location.
- Attendance from the web, the phone, a kiosk, a biometric device, or a face scan, geo-fenced for staff who clock in on site.
- Shifts, overtime, and timesheets mapped to the projects and clients they were worked for.
- Onboarding and offboarding run as workflows, not as checklists in someone's inbox.
- Hours, overtime, and unpaid leave passed to your local payroll system without being typed in again.
From the first day to the last, one record.
Onboarding
The first day prepared before it arrives.
Leave
Applied, checked against policy, approved, and on the record.
Check-in
Face, geo-fence, kiosk, or device. The hours are recorded as staff clock in.
Reports
Headcount, leave, and attendance, read without a spreadsheet.
Priced per person, from free.
Zoho's Malaysian pricing for People, per user per month, as published. The licence is the smaller number. The policies, the approval paths, and the link into your payroll are the part we quote.

Where it sits.
Zoho People is for the business where leave is requested on WhatsApp, attendance lives in a punch-card export, and every payroll run starts with someone reconciling the two. It runs on its own, and the Free plan covers up to five users.
Zoho does not sell its own payroll in Malaysia, so we connect People to the local payroll system you already run. Inside People Plus it arrives with Recruit and Zoho Expense; inside Zoho One, with everything else.
Where we deploy it.
The software is the licence. The system is the work.
Zoho builds the platform. We build what your business runs on it — diagnosed, designed, implemented, and supported for as long as you run it. How we work → Ongoing support →
