Hajir vs Excel
Still running HR on Excel? Here is what changes with Hajir
Spreadsheets are free to start but expensive to run. Compare the monthly HR work in Excel with the same work in Hajir.
Should a Nepali business move HR from Excel to HR software?
The short answer
If you have more than about 10 employees, shifts, or more than one location, HR software usually pays for itself in saved HR time and fewer payroll errors. Excel works for a small team, but it cannot collect attendance, route leave approvals or recalculate TDS and SSF when something changes.

FAQ
Excel to Hajir questions
Can we import our existing Excel data?
Yes. Data migration from Excel is free and done by our team.
Is HR software worth it for a small company?
