Follow Ravi, a designer at Acme Studio, through June. Nothing he records is typed twice.
Twenty-four people check in from their own phones. The time and a readable place go onto the register, not into a chat group.
How attendance worksRavi asks for a day off. You approve it once, and the register shows leave for that day without anyone re-typing it.
Leave and WFHPaid days, loss of pay and net pay come from the month already recorded. Payslips go out by email in one go.
What it costsPresentPaid leaveHalf dayAbsentSunday
An absent day costs a day's pay, a half day half of one, paid leave nothing. Sundays are off; tap any other day and the payslip is worked out again, the way payroll does it on the 30th.
Do the same for your whole team from the sheet you keep now: the free payslip tool, no signup.

Ravi, Powai. After 10:00 counts as late, on the record.
Check in from a phone, with the place recorded as a name you can read.

Line-item quotes that turn into invoices, and the hours behind every project.
the Acme Studio API drifted from its normal, and the warning went out.
Your sites and your clients' sites, checked every few minutes, with an early warning when one drifts.
No setup fee. Most teams mark their first attendance the day the login arrives.
Tell us about your team in the form below. We create your workspace and email your admin login. Free, no card.
Paste your staff list from Excel or Google Sheets, or add people one by one. Each gets a login and a dashboard.
Everyone marks attendance and logs their tasks. You approve leave. Payroll reads what was already recorded.
Merik is built for teams of 5 to 200 people in India: INR, CTC structures and Indian leave and holiday conventions.
Your team logs daily work against a client and project, so you can finally answer "did that retainer make money?" without rebuilding a timesheet from memory. Quotes convert into invoices.
Attendance, leave and holidays feed one payroll run. Nobody re-types a register into a salary sheet, and every payslip traces back to dated entries you can show an employee who disagrees.
Staff check in from their own phone and the location becomes a readable place name. You see who started where, without a biometric device for every site.
A daily task log with time spent, blockers and proof links gives you the signal of a standup, without the standing meeting. Work from home is a request that's approved and recorded.
isolated workspace per company
Each company's data is kept apart by the database itself, not by hoping the app remembers. How Merik keeps company data separate
Every table filters by company in Postgres itself. One company's users cannot read another's rows.
Payroll is calculated from attendance and leave already stored, not retyped into a sheet.
Employees see only their own work and payslips. Admins see their own company.
Optional, switched on per feature and per company, and every draft is edited by a person.
For teams that want it set up around their own data.
Everything in the free workspace, and we import your people, CTC, holiday calendar and leave policy, and set attendance rules to your policy.
For teams replacing spreadsheets this month.
Unlimited employees with no per-head charge, and every module: attendance, leave and WFH, daily tasks and insights, payroll and payslips, clients, quotes and invoices, in one isolated company workspace. No setup fee, no card.
Merik is an all-in-one workforce management platform that combines employee management, attendance tracking, leave management, payroll, daily task tracking, clients and invoicing, and asset tracking in a single secure company workspace. Each company gets its own isolated workspace, and employees get self-service access to their own attendance, leave, tasks and payslips.
Yes. Merik is built for small and growing businesses — typically 5 to 200 employees — that want to replace spreadsheets and multiple disconnected tools with one platform. The Merik team sets the workspace up for you at no cost — there is no IT project and no setup fee.
Yes. Attendance and leave data flow directly into monthly payroll, so gross pay, deductions and net pay are calculated from the days already recorded — without re-keying numbers between systems. Read how that works →
Yes. Employees get their own dashboard where they can mark attendance with geolocated check-in and check-out, request leave or work-from-home, log their daily tasks, keep personal notes and to-dos, and download their own payslips. More on employee self-service →
You request a workspace and the Merik team sets it up and emails your admin login; there is no IT project on your side. Once you have added your people, most teams are running daily attendance and task logging from the first day, and complete their first payroll run in the same month, because attendance data is captured from the start. See a full migration plan →
Yes. Merik is multi-tenant and every company gets one isolated workspace, enforced in the Postgres database by row-level security rather than only in application code. One company's users cannot read another company's rows. What to check in any HR tool →
Yes. Employees check in and out from their own device and the location is captured and reverse-geocoded to a readable place name, so "present" means something verifiable for field staff. Work-from-home is a separate request type that is approved and recorded like leave. Attendance for field teams →
Yes. Merik includes client records, projects per client, line-item quotes that convert into invoices, and project-level intelligence that rolls up the hours logged in the daily task log against each client and project. See the quote-to-invoice flow →
Merik has an optional AI layer that can draft performance summaries and quotes for a human to edit. It is off unless enabled, gated per feature and per company with a monthly call cap, and drafts are always reviewed by a person before use. Core features work with AI switched off entirely. What AI actually helps with in HR →
Yes. The Digital Operations module checks the websites, web apps and APIs you register — per client, if you run client properties — from the outside every few minutes: availability, response time and HTTP status. Merik learns each site's normal behaviour and raises an early warning when it drifts, opens incidents assigned to the asset's owner, and produces monthly SLA reports and client-facing status pages. A one-line browser snippet also reports JavaScript errors from real visitors. How proactive monitoring works →
Merik is free to start. Request a company workspace at no cost, add your whole team — there is no per-employee charge — and use attendance, leave, task tracking, payroll and payslips. There is no setup fee and no card required to begin.
