Every HR Feature Your Team Needs,100% Free
Most HR platforms make you choose: the features you need, or the price you can afford. Zentra doesn't ask you to pick. Everything below — day-to-day employee management through the AI copilot and security infrastructure most competitors charge extra for — is included free, with no seat limit and nothing held back for a higher tier.
Core Modules
What ships with Zentra.
Every module works standalone. Turn on what your team needs, ignore what you don't. All four are included in the free tier - no upgrade paywall, no feature gating.
Employee Management
Every employee record lives in one place — profiles, departments, designations, reporting lines — and updates instantly the moment something changes. Onboarding a new hire and maintaining an existing one happen from the same workforce view, so nothing gets lost between a spreadsheet and the system everyone actually uses.
- Custom department & designation hierarchy per organization
- Structured onboarding checklist for every new hire
- Configurable profile fields - capture what your org actually needs
Attendance & Leaves
No more approving leave requests over email, or reconstructing who was in the office last Tuesday from memory. Attendance updates in real time, leave requests route through a single approval flow, and every action lands in an audit trail HR can pull up on demand.
- Real-time clock-in / clock-out with live status
- Multiple leave types with automatic balance tracking
- Manager approval workflow, logged end to end
Payroll & Payslips
Salary structures, payslip generation, and the financial data behind both stay inside one encrypted system rather than a spreadsheet emailed between finance and HR. Running payroll takes minutes, and every payslip an employee downloads comes from the same protected source.
- Configurable salary structures per role or grade
- Auto-generated payslip PDFs on every pay cycle
- Every financial record encrypted at rest
Employee Self-Service
Payslips, leave balance, attendance history, a profile to update — employees handle all of it themselves through a dedicated portal, without opening a ticket with HR for something they could check on their own. Fewer routine questions land in HR's inbox, which means more time for the parts of the job that actually need a person.
- Payslips and leave balance visible without an HR ticket
- Employees manage their own profile updates
- One portal for attendance, documents, and pay history
Only in Zentra
Features you won't find elsewhere
Not in BambooHR. Not in Gusto. Not in Personio.
Burnout Prediction Radar
Overtime hours, leave patterns, attendance regularity — Zentra already tracks all of it, and Burnout Prediction Radar turns that data into an early warning system instead of letting it sit unused. HR sees aggregate, team-level risk; employees see a friendly wellness nudge, never a clinical label or the sense of being individually watched.
Anonymous Team Pulse
A one-to-three question survey, answered in under 15 seconds, with a guarantee behind it: no response is ever tied to a user ID, and nothing displays until at least five people have answered. Built to get an honest read on morale without anyone worrying their name is attached to what they said.
Smart Document Vault
Upload IDs, visas, and certifications - get automated expiry reminders at 90, 60, 30, 15, and 7 days.
Org Chart Auto-Generator
Nothing to draw, nothing to configure — the org chart builds itself from the reporting structure already set up, and stays current automatically as people join, leave, or change teams. Click any name to see their direct reports.
