- You want a large India-specific HR vendor with long market tenure.
Questions about switching to Vergado
Does greytHR file TDS, EPF, ESI and PT returns on my behalf?
greytHR provides strong computation and challan generation. Actual return filing is typically handled by your team or a consultant. Vergado closes this loop — statutory payments and returns are submitted automatically each cycle.
Can Vergado import data from greytHR?
Yes. Vergado imports employees, YTD pay, statutory registrations (UAN, ESI IP, PT state), leave balances and salary structures from greytHR exports. First-cycle validation ensures Form 16 continuity at year end.
What about leave and attendance?
Vergado has native leave, attendance (mobile + 100+ biometric devices), shifts and roster support — comparable to greytHR — tied directly to payroll so overtime and LOP auto-calculate.
How is pricing different?
greytHR has published tiers. Vergado is per-employee per-month and includes statutory payment and filing, benefits, expenses and onboarding — which often replaces 2–3 separate vendors.
