Overview
Tuling HCM is the human capital layer of the Tuling platform — purpose-built for the complexity of educational institutions: teaching staff, visiting faculty, non-teaching employees, multi-campus assignments, and statutory rules that vary by state. On top of that lifecycle sits the HR AI Assistant — so principals and HR ask workforce questions in plain English instead of digging through menus.
The employee lifecycle, end to end
From the first job requisition to the final settlement, every HR touchpoint is covered:
- Recruit — post openings, track applicants through a real pipeline, hand off automatically to onboarding on hire
- Onboard — checklist-driven joining, document collection, probation setup
- Operate — attendance, leave, extra-duty-to-leave conversion, support tickets
- Compensate — payroll runs, statutory filings, increment cycles
- Develop — performance goals, appraisal cycles, succession bench-strength
- Ask — HR AI Assistant for late staff, leave patterns, payroll anomalies, and F&F status
- Exit — resignation workflow, clearance checklist, full & final settlement with PDF/Excel export for accounts
Built for academic institutions, not adapted from corporate software
Position and succession planning model Principal, Dean, HOD, Registrar, Controller of Examinations, Librarian, and Visiting Faculty as real role types — the roles that actually run a college, not a generic corporate reporting line. When paired with Tuling SIS, HOD dashboards blend HR data (attendance, leave approvals) with academic data (teaching load, course performance) in one screen.
India compliance, not an afterthought
PF contribution calculations, ESI applicability thresholds, state-wise Professional Tax slabs, and TDS deduction logic are embedded directly in the payroll engine.

-
Academic-Hierarchy Positions
Real academic role types, not generic org-chart nodes borrowed from corporate HR software.
-
Succession Planning
Bench-strength for critical roles, with a transparent, formula-based readiness suggestion HR can override.
-
Payroll & Statutory Compliance
Built for Indian institutional payroll, not bolted on.
-
Leave, Attendance & Extra-Duty Conversion
A full audit ledger of every credit, deduction, and expiry.
-
Employee Loans & Advances
Wired directly into the accounting ledger, not tracked in a side spreadsheet.
Explore modules by category
Every module below has its own detail page — capabilities, what's tracked, and how the workflow actually runs.
People & Records 3 modules
Personnel Records A single employee master record with a real hire-to-active lifecycle, not a flat spreadsheet with a photo attached. Academic-Hierarchy Positions Principal, Dean, HOD, COE, IQAC Coordinator — modeled as real role types, not generic org-chart boxes. Document Hub SHA-256 integrity hashing, true version chains, and confidentiality flags — a real document system, not a file-upload field.
Pay & Rewards 4 modules
Payroll Suite A full monthly payroll run lifecycle with statutory-ready exports — the most operationally complete module in Tuling HCM. Compensation & Increments Configurable pay structures, performance-linked increment cycles with bulk approval, and full audit history on every change. Benefits Administration Configurable benefit plans that plug directly into payroll deductions — including a built-in Indian gratuity calculator. Employee Loans & Advances A full loan lifecycle from request to EMI deduction, wired directly into the accounting ledger — not tracked in a side spreadsheet.
Time & Presence 4 modules
Attendance & Biometric Sync Real biometric device integration, shift management, and a genuine multi-level approval chain for regularization and overtime. Leave Management A fully configurable leave-policy engine — accrual, carry-forward, encashment, blackout dates, and concurrency limits, not a fixed leave-type list. Extra-Duty Leave Conversion Overtime hours convert automatically into usable leave credit, with a full audit ledger of every credit, deduction, and expiry. Week-off Swaps & Attendance Adjustments Week-off swaps, temporary shifts and deduction reversals — the everyday corrections that otherwise end up on paper.
Growth & Compliance 5 modules
Performance Reviews A structured, weighted appraisal workflow with four real sign-off stages — not a single self-assessment form nobody reads. Succession Planning Flag critical roles, name ranked successors, and see bench-strength at a glance — with a fully transparent, explainable readiness score. Statutory Compliance (PF/ESI/PT/TDS) State-wise, date-versioned statutory rules with a real TDS approve-and-close workflow and cryptographic integrity checks. Employee Relations & Disciplinary Actions An event-sourced employee lifecycle — probation, promotion, absconding, resignation, and disciplinary letters — all real workflows, not email threads. POSH, DPDP & Regulatory Compliance Complaints committee, privacy, contracts, qualifications and regulator tracking — the compliance work beyond PF and ESI.
Talent 5 modules
Recruitment Tracking A real requisition-to-hire pipeline with a public careers page — honest about what's not built yet, too. Visiting Faculty Management A purpose-built pay-per-lecture claim system — the workflow generic HRMS platforms simply don't model. Workforce Analytics A configurable report builder with real report definitions, dynamic fields, CSV/JSON export, and scheduled delivery — not a fixed set of dashboards. HR AI Assistant Ask management-desk questions in plain English and get answers from live attendance, leave, payroll, and settlement data — tool-calling into real ERP services, not a generic chatbot. HR Support Desk & Help Center Staff questions become tickets HR can answer and track, with a help center and policy library to deflect the repeat ones.
