HR + Attendance + Payroll + Tasks. One workspace.

Run your entire workforce without spreadsheets.

Employees, attendance, leave, payroll, daily tasks, clients and assets in one company workspace. The numbers you record on Monday are the numbers payroll uses on the 30th.

Five things your team does every day, in one workspace.

Each module reads from the others, so nothing is typed twice. Start with just attendance and daily tasks, and switch the rest on when you need it.

Everything in one place.

From the day someone joins to the day payroll runs, without switching tools or re-typing numbers.

Employee management

One source of truth for departments, designations, salary history and documents — with per-employee detail pages, login provisioning and clean offboarding.

  • Directory
  • CTC history
  • Documents
  • Offboarding

Attendance that payroll can trust

Geolocated check-in and check-out, late marks, half-days and a live company-wide view — captured once, on the day, by the person it belongs to.

Leave & WFH

Requests with date ranges, one-tap approval, and paid vs unpaid tracked separately so month-end stays accurate.

Payroll & payslips

Monthly runs filled in from attendance and leave already recorded. Payslips generated and emailed in bulk.

Daily task log

Time spent, status, blockers and proof links per client and project — with CSV export and full-text search.

Task insights & project intelligence

Per-project rollups, contributor breakdowns and a time estimator that learns from your own history — it backtests its own weights against tasks whose real duration you already know, instead of guessing.

  • Estimate vs actual
  • Project stages
  • Contributor mix
  • Sparklines

Clients, quotes & invoices

Client records, projects per client, line-item quotes that convert straight into invoices — and the hours your team logged sitting right next to them.

  • Clients
  • Projects
  • Quotes
  • Invoices

Assets & software

Hardware register with assignment history, plus software seats and monthly spend per tool.

Performance reviews

Monthly reviews grounded in the task log and attendance the employee already filed.

Isolated workspaces

One workspace per company, enforced by row-level security in Postgres — not just in app code.

Digital Operations — sites & APIs, watched

Register the websites and APIs you run — yours or your clients' — and Merik checks them from the outside every few minutes: uptime, response time and HTTP status. Incidents open automatically, assigned to whoever owns the asset, with the deploy that landed just before shown on the timeline.

  • Uptime checks
  • Early warnings
  • Auto-assigned incidents
  • SLA reports

Early warnings, before the outage

Merik learns each site's normal — latency, error rate, browser errors — and warns when behaviour drifts well outside it, with a risk score, a confidence score and the evidence. One warning per problem, not twenty alerts. A browser snippet catches the JavaScript errors uptime checks can't see.

  • Measured baselines
  • Risk + confidence
  • Browser errors
  • Status pages

Spreadsheets & chat

  • ✕ Attendance lives in a sheet someone forgets to update
  • ✕ Leave is approved in chat and never reaches the sheet
  • ✕ Payroll starts with re-typing 140 rows by hand
  • ✕ A wrong payslip can't be traced back to a source
  • ✕ Nobody knows which laptop is with whom
  • ✕ "How many hours did we put into this client?" Nobody knows

  • ✓ Approved leave updates the attendance record itself
  • ✓ Payroll reads the days already recorded. Zero re-keying
  • ✓ Every payslip traces back to dated, auditable entries

Assumes Merik removes about 75% of the manual admin (re-keying, chasing timesheets, rebuilding sheets) because attendance, leave and payroll share one dataset. Your own inputs drive every number. See the full method.

Up and running in three steps. No IT project.

Your people data, properly walled off.

Multi-tenant done the boring, correct way: isolation enforced by the database, not by hoping the app remembers.

Frequently asked questions.

The things people ask us before they request a workspace.

What is Merik?

Merik is an all-in-one workforce management platform that combines employee management, attendance tracking, leave management, payroll, daily task tracking, clients and invoicing, and asset tracking in a single secure company workspace. Each company gets its own isolated workspace, and employees get self-service access to their own attendance, leave, tasks and payslips.

Is Merik suitable for small businesses?

Yes. Merik is built for small and growing businesses — typically 5 to 200 employees — that want to replace spreadsheets and multiple disconnected tools with one platform. The Merik team sets the workspace up for you at no cost — there is no IT project and no setup fee.

Does Merik connect attendance to payroll?

Yes. Attendance and leave data flow directly into monthly payroll, so gross pay, deductions and net pay are calculated from the days already recorded — without re-keying numbers between systems. Read how that works →

Can employees use Merik themselves?

Yes. Employees get their own dashboard where they can mark attendance with geolocated check-in and check-out, request leave or work-from-home, log their daily tasks, keep personal notes and to-dos, and download their own payslips. More on employee self-service →

How much does Merik cost?

Merik is free to start. Request a company workspace at no cost, add your whole team — there is no per-employee charge — and use attendance, leave, task tracking, payroll and payslips. There is no setup fee and no card required to begin.

How long does it take to set up Merik?

You request a workspace and the Merik team sets it up and emails your admin login; there is no IT project on your side. Once you have added your people, most teams are running daily attendance and task logging from the first day, and complete their first payroll run in the same month, because attendance data is captured from the start. See a full migration plan →

Is my company data isolated from other companies?

Yes. Merik is multi-tenant and every company gets one isolated workspace, enforced in the Postgres database by row-level security rather than only in application code. One company's users cannot read another company's rows. What to check in any HR tool →

Does Merik work for remote and field teams?

Yes. Employees check in and out from their own device and the location is captured and reverse-geocoded to a readable place name, so "present" means something verifiable for field staff. Work-from-home is a separate request type that is approved and recorded like leave. Attendance for field teams →

Can Merik handle clients, projects and invoicing?

Yes. Merik includes client records, projects per client, line-item quotes that convert into invoices, and project-level intelligence that rolls up the hours logged in the daily task log against each client and project. See the quote-to-invoice flow →

Does Merik use AI, and is it optional?

Merik has an optional AI layer that can draft performance summaries and quotes for a human to edit. It is off unless enabled, gated per feature and per company with a monthly call cap, and drafts are always reviewed by a person before use. Core features work with AI switched off entirely. What AI actually helps with in HR →

Can Merik monitor our websites and client sites?

Yes. The Digital Operations module checks the websites, web apps and APIs you register — per client, if you run client properties — from the outside every few minutes: availability, response time and HTTP status. Merik learns each site's normal behaviour and raises an early warning when it drifts, opens incidents assigned to the asset's owner, and produces monthly SLA reports and client-facing status pages. A one-line browser snippet also reports JavaScript errors from real visitors. How proactive monitoring works →
