For Indian companies, it handles leave management, attendance tracking, shift scheduling, and performance appraisals with India-specific leave types and holiday calendars.<\/p>\n\n<figure style=\"margin:36px 0;text-align:center;line-height:0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/inline_zoho-people-hr-india_1.jpg\" alt=\"India-specific leave configuration in Zoho People\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:820px;height:auto;border-radius:10px;box-shadow:0 4px 20px rgba(10,22,40,.13);\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2>Core HR Features<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho People manages: employee database (personal details, documents, employment history), organisation hierarchy, department and designation structure, and employee self-service for leave requests, attendance, and document access.<\/p>\n<h2>Leave Management for India<\/h2>\n<p>Configure India-specific leave types: Earned Leave (EL), Casual Leave (CL), Sick Leave (SL), Compensatory Off, and Leave Without Pay. Set accrual rules (EL accrues monthly, CL credited annually), carry-forward limits, and encashment policies. The leave calendar shows public holidays per state \u2014 Maharashtra and Karnataka have different holiday lists.<\/p>\n<h2>Attendance and Shift Management<\/h2>\n<p>Track attendance via web check-in, mobile GPS check-in (for field staff), biometric device integration, or IP-restricted check-in.

All tracked in one checklist with due dates and ownership.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance Management<\/h2>\n<p>Run quarterly or annual appraisals with configurable review forms, self-assessment, manager assessment, and 360-degree feedback. Link performance ratings to goals and KPIs.
