Payroll that is actually Sri Lankan
EPF 8% and 12%, ETF 3%, the IRD APIT tables, gratuity, stamp duty, USD-pegged salaries and the bank transfer files local banks accept.
Attendance and leave that feed payroll
Overtime, no-pay and leave flow into the pay run automatically, so nobody retypes hours and nobody misses a Poya day.
HR software in Sri Lanka has to do three things well: keep the employee record straight, apply the Shop and Office Act and Wages Board rules to attendance and leave, and run payroll with EPF, ETF and APIT filed on time. Humanised does all three in one system, priced in LKR with no setup fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best HR software in Sri Lanka?
For businesses of 5 to 5,000 employees that want payroll, attendance, leave and the employee app in one Sri Lankan system with flat LKR pricing, Humanised. Larger enterprises with multi-country needs also look at MiHCM and PeoplesHR. Our honest comparison lists eight vendors side by side.
How much does HR software cost in Sri Lanka?
Humanised is LKR 10,000 a month for up to 15 employees and LKR 25,000 for up to 50, with Enterprise pricing above that and no setup fee. Most other vendors charge per employee per month (for example Better HR at LKR 399 and Gallery HR at Rs 400–500 plus a setup fee) or quote on request.
What is the difference between HR software, an HRIS and an HRMS?
They describe the same category. An HRIS (human resource information system) stores employee records, leave and attendance; an HRMS adds payroll and performance; HR software is the everyday term. Humanised covers all of it: records, contracts, attendance, leave, payroll and the employee app.
Does Humanised handle EPF, ETF and APIT?
Yes. Every pay run applies EPF at 8% and 12%, ETF at 3% and the IRD APIT tables, and produces the C-form, R4 and T10 statements.
Is there an employee app?
Yes, on iOS and Android. Employees clock in, apply for leave, see payslips and leave balances, and submit expenses; managers approve from their phone.
Can it connect to fingerprint or face attendance devices?
Yes. ZKTeco and HikVision terminals integrate directly, and remote staff clock in on the app.
Is Humanised cloud HR software?
Yes. It runs in the browser and the app with nothing to install, role-based access for owners, HR, managers and accountants, and an audit trail on every change.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can also book a live demo, after which our team sets up your company and imports your staff.
Can it manage employment contracts and HR letters?
Yes. Digital contracts with e-signature and a document store are available as an add-on, and free HR letter templates are on this site.
Who uses Humanised?
Sri Lankan SMEs and mid-size companies in retail, hospitality, services, manufacturing and professional firms, plus accountants who run payroll for several clients.
