Who it's for
From a 20-bed nursing home to a hospital group
Each plan maps to how healthcare organizations actually grow — start where you are, upgrade without re-implementation.
Mid-size hospitals
Ward-and-shift rostering, overtime, contract labour, statutory filing and licence tracking — the parts generic HR tools skip.
NABH-track hospitals
Credentialling, privileging, training matrices, duty hours and immunisation records — as auditable evidence, not spreadsheets.
Hospital groups
Multi-entity payroll, group-level policy with local variation, and consolidated workforce analytics across sites.

The healthcare edge
The parts no generic HRMS was built to do
Any HR product can run payroll. These are the hospital-specific controls that make kNODE HRMS a clinical-risk system, not just an HR tool.
Lapsed licence? Blocked roster.
A nurse whose council registration has lapsed cannot appear on tomorrow's roster — because the licence register and the roster are the same system.
Privileges, procedure by procedure
Who may perform what, verified against what evidence, renewed when — the exact audit trail accreditation bodies ask for.
Skill mix, not just headcount
Two staff on an ICU night shift isn't two qualified staff. Rosters validate against ratio and qualification targets per unit.
Duty hours with evidence
Continuous-hour caps and rest periods for residents and junior doctors, tracked and reportable.
Training as a living matrix
BLS, ACLS, fire safety, biomedical waste — role-dependent, expiring, and audit-ready at any moment.
Consultants paid correctly
Fee-for-service, revenue share and minimum guarantees beside salaried payroll — each with the right tax treatment.
Built as true SaaS
Sign up, configure, run payroll — yourselves
No installs, no quarter-long implementation project. The platform decisions underneath are what make that safe.
✓
Tenant isolation, tested daily
Row-level security on every table, and an automated isolation test pack that runs on every build.
✓
Immutable payroll runs
Once approved, a payroll run is sealed forever — what was paid, under which rules, provable years later.
✓
Statutory rules as data
EPF 2026, the labour codes, state PT slabs — versioned, effective-dated, updated without a release.
✓
Mobile-first for staff
The ESS app puts payslips, leave, attendance and documents in every employee's pocket — iOS and Android.
✓
Outbound-only device agent
Biometric punches sync out from your network — the platform never dials in through your firewall.
✓
Plays well with kNODE HMS
A peer, not a dependency — shared employee master, rosters and consultant fee events when you run both.
