Statutory compliance for a mixed workforce.
Calculated automatically for permanent staff and contract hires alike, every payroll run — no CA dependency for routine compliance.
What healthcare teams actually use in Clan.
- Rotational shift rosters — build ward, OPD, and lab shift patterns once and assign staff by department; roster data flows straight into attendance and payroll.
- Biometric + geo-fenced attendance — ZKTeco device sync plus geo-fencing and IP restrictions, so a single account covers a hospital with more than one entrance or a clinic chain with multiple branches.
- Document management — staff ID proofs, offer letters, contracts, and SOPs stored, versioned, and searchable in one policy centre with an acknowledgement audit trail.
- WhatsApp leave & shift-swap approvals — a manager on the ward floor approves a request from their phone in seconds; no app download for staff.
- Per-employee PF/ESI eligibility — a senior nurse or resident doctor above the ₹21,000/month ESI wage limit and a contract ward attendant below it sit on the same payroll run; Clan checks each employee's threshold automatically instead of applying one rule to the whole roster. Run your own team's numbers on the PF & ESI calculator.
The math (50-person hospital admin & support staff)
Manual shift rostering + attendance follow-ups: hours lost every week
PF/ESI/PT recalculated by hand for contract + permanent staff: recurring CA time
Clan Growth (50 active employees): ₹4,450/mo

FAQ
Common questions about healthcare HR and payroll software.
What is healthcare HR and payroll software?
It is HR and payroll software configured for how hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres actually staff their teams — rotational shifts across departments, biometric attendance at multiple locations, and payroll compliance for a mix of permanent staff and contract hires, instead of a generic 9-to-5 HR tool.
Does Clan support 24/7 shift rosters for hospitals and clinics?
Yes. Clan's shift management module lets you build rosters by department — ward, OPD, lab — and assign staff to rotating shift patterns. Roster data feeds directly into attendance and payroll, so there's no separate reconciliation step.
Can Clan calculate PF, ESI, and Professional Tax for a mix of permanent and contract healthcare staff?
Yes. PF, ESI, TDS, and Professional Tax are calculated automatically on every payroll run for each employee based on their pay structure and employment type, whether permanent or contract.
Does Clan work across multiple hospital locations or clinic branches?
Yes. Geo-fencing and IP restrictions let you define approved clock-in zones per location, and ZKTeco biometric devices already installed at your facility can sync directly with Clan.
Can leave and shift-swap requests be approved on WhatsApp?
Yes. A manager receives the request on WhatsApp and can approve or reject it in seconds — no app download or portal login needed for staff on the floor.
Is Clan suitable for a small hospital or a multi-branch clinic chain?
Clan is built for organisations with 10 to 150 employees, which covers most independent hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic chains, and multi-branch clinics in India. It's free up to 10 employees, so a single clinic can start immediately.
What is the best payroll software for hospitals and clinics in India?
There is no single answer for every size of facility — a 2,000-bed hospital chain and a 30-person diagnostic centre need different systems. For independent hospitals, nursing homes, and clinic chains in the 10-150 employee range, Clan combines shift-linked attendance, PF/ESI/PT compliance for a mixed permanent-and-contract workforce, and WhatsApp-based leave approval in one login, at a lower per-employee cost than enterprise healthcare HRMS platforms built for much larger hospital networks.
Is Clan the same as a generic HRMS, or built specifically for the healthcare industry?
Clan is a general-purpose HR, payroll, and project management platform, not a clinical or hospital information system — it doesn't handle patient records or NABH clinical documentation. What makes it fit hospitals and clinics specifically is the shift roster and mixed-workforce payroll configuration above, not a separate healthcare product line.
