Switching from HROne

You can run both side by side while you move. Nothing about Sunday People needs a long implementation.

  1. Bring your data acrossImport knows HROne: it shows how to export employees, leave balances, leave history and attendance from it, matches the columns, and lets you check every row before anything changes.
  2. Set your rulesPick a leave policy, add your holiday calendars and shifts, and choose who approves what. Most teams finish in an afternoon.
  3. Invite the teamEveryone signs in with Google, Microsoft or a one-time code sent to their work email. New joiners get an onboarding link for their details and documents.
  4. Move payroll when you're readyImport past payroll from HROne so pay and tax so far this year carry over, set up your salary structures and run your first month in Sunday. Until then, keep HROne for salaries and hand it Sunday's attendance, leave and loss of pay exports.

Caveats

  • HROne's pricing page lists ₹99 and ₹130 per user for Basic and Professional, while the FAQ on the same page mentions about ₹85 and ₹115.
  • Plans start at a 50-user floor, so smaller teams pay for 50.
  • Letter generation and e-signature appear on HROne's onboarding pages; the plan isn't stated.
  • Project timesheets appear to be a separate HROne product.

Competitor prices and features come from public sources, mainly vendor websites and pricing pages plus some third-party listings, as checked on 23 October 2026. They exclude GST, may differ by plan, region and billing cycle, and can change at any time, so check each vendor's site for current pricing. Where a vendor's own pages disagree, we show the price as approximate. Product names belong to their owners. Sunday prices also exclude GST.
