One employee record, paid correctly on every shift.
Workforce Management is the foundation of MiHCM Enterprise: MiHCM Core, Payroll, Time & Attendance and Organisation Planning. It is where a person's record lives, where shifts and overtime are counted, and where pay is calculated against each country's statutory rules. Everything else in MiHCM reads from it.
Module names and icons are MiHCM's own. MiHCM Lite includes a simpler version of Core HR, Payroll and Time & Attendance.
Payroll · Monthly runMTThe facts payroll depends on, kept straight.
Most payroll errors start upstream: a profile that was updated in one place and not another, an overtime rule nobody can trace, a headcount that Finance and HR count differently. Workforce Management closes those gaps before pay day.
- 01One profile per person
- Every personal, contact, employment and document detail in one place, with a completion indicator that flags what is missing, so payroll and every other process work from the same picture.
- 02Every movement recorded
- Confirmation, transfers, promotions, disciplinary actions, resignations, clearance and retirement, each with the documents it needs, on a timeline per employee.
- 03Leave by the law
- Leave policies automated in line with each country's labour law, including carry-forward, encashment, lieu leave and probation-period entitlements.
- 04Attendance payroll can trust
- Rotating rosters, midnight shifts, grace periods and overtime ceilings set once; attendance periods lock before payroll runs.
- 05Pay by each country's rules
- Retirement funds, tax, gratuity and social security calculated by the engine, with reports in each authority's format.
- 06A headcount everyone agrees on
- Live org charts and an approved headcount plan that new hires are checked against, so Finance and HR quote the same number.
Four modules, up close.
Pick a module to see what it covers, as MiHCM describes it, and how its screen might look.
The single employee record everything depends on
Profiles, org charts, movements and leave, from onboarding to retirement.
- A digital profile holds personal, work, family, contact, medical and bank details, work experience, qualifications, skills, memberships, employment history and correspondence.
- A timeline shows every key movement in an employee's lifecycle, and people who leave are kept as deactivated profiles that can be reactivated if they are re-employed.
- Letters are generated in the platform from the employee's own data, documents are filed in categorised folders, and EviaSign integration adds secure e-signatures.
- Org charts tag each entity to its legislative entity, so each follows its own labour law; a position chart maps recruitment, contracts, reporting lines and job descriptions to each role.
- Role-based access by module (for example Profile Manager, Employee Self-Service or Recruitment), with predefined roles to keep permissions consistent.
- Disciplinary procedures, resignations, exit interviews and clearance of issued items are recorded in one structured off-boarding flow.
A profile that is actually current
MiHCM's point: a new phone number is changed on one screen, and there are no three other places still showing the old one, because there is only one record.
MiHCM Core · Employee profileMTFour statutory obligations on every payslip.
MiHCM's Sri Lanka Payroll Guide 2026 sets out what every employer in Sri Lanka must manage each month. The framework is not complicated in principle, the guide says, but it is detailed, and the details changed more than once in the past year.
- 01EPF: Employees' Provident Fund
- Mandatory retirement savings. The employer contributes 12% of total earnings and the employee 8%, with no salary cap, due to the Central Bank's EPF Department by the last working day of the following month.
- 02ETF: Employees' Trust Fund
- A separate fund paid by the employer alone: 3% of total earnings, with no employee contribution, due on the same date as EPF.
- 03Gratuity
- A lump sum for employees with five or more years of service at an employer of 15 or more workmen: half a month's salary per completed year for monthly-rated workmen, payable on termination for any reason, not only retirement.
- 04APIT: Advance Personal Income Tax
- Progressive income tax withheld at source and paid to the Inland Revenue Department by the 15th of the following month, worked out from each employee's monthly earnings and non-cash benefits against IRD Tax Table No. 01.

The four most common payroll mistakes in Sri Lanka.
MiHCM's guide says the usual failures are not dramatic; they are systemic. Each is the kind of rule a payroll engine should hold for you.
MiHCM says its engine maintains contribution rates, tax tables and Wages Board rules in line with regulatory updates, and applies the right overtime, no-pay and late-deduction formulas for Shop & Office or Wages Board employees.
From attendance to authority, in one run.
