Frappe HR
Manage employee records, leave, attendance, expenses, performance, and payroll.
What it helps with
Frappe HR covers the employee lifecycle from recruitment and onboarding through attendance, leave, expenses, performance, and payroll. A growing business can give employees and managers a shared self-service workflow and connect finance-related records to ERPNext. Daily use is approachable, but production depends on the Frappe stack and payroll configuration is country specific. It should be introduced with HR, finance, and technical ownership, not treated as a generic install that automatically produces lawful pay, tax, or employment records.
Best fit
Best for SMBs already using Frappe/ERPNext or prepared for a formal HRIS rollout; not for instant compliant payroll in every country.
Setup reality
Ops-heavy; the production platform includes Frappe, database, Redis, queues, scheduler, proxy, storage, backups, and upgrades; the README Docker path is described for development.
License context
Copyleft licenseBusiness use is allowed. Sharing duties depend on the specific license and how modified software is distributed or offered.GPL-3.0; internal use is allowed; distribution of modified GPL code requires source, while ordinary hosting alone is not an AGPL trigger.
