Common questions from employers
Questions employers often search before choosing a payroll partner.
Answers to common business questions about outsourced payroll, HRIS and biometric attendance in Sri Lanka.
Do I need to buy HRIS separately?
Not necessarily. With Master HR, eligible payroll outsourcing clients can receive FREE HRIS software as part of the service model, reducing the need to buy disconnected systems separately.
Why does attendance finalization matter?
Attendance finalization creates a clear handover point. It reduces confusion, locks approved time data and gives payroll a controlled starting point for processing.
Can Master HR support multiple branches?
Yes. Master HR can connect multi-branch attendance environments and organize attendance data into one centralized system, especially where ZKTeco / ADMS-style connectivity is used.
What does payroll-ready attendance mean?
It means the attendance data has already passed review for missing punches, leave, shifts, OT and exceptions, so payroll processing can begin with better control and fewer last-minute corrections.
