Attendance with an office area
Draw your office on a map and set the allowed distance. Office staff clock in only inside it; remote staff clock in anywhere, with the location saved.
HR, attendance, leave and payroll software
SHOCHOL: Attendance, leave and payroll, worked out for you.
SHOCHOL puts attendance, leave, payroll with Bangladesh income tax, employee records and official certificates in one workspace, with approval chains and audit logs.
- Office, hybrid and remote staff
- Bangladesh income tax built in
- A separate database for each company
HR that does the sums and the chasing
Late minutes, leave balances, pro-rated salary and income tax are calculated by SHOCHOL, not typed into spreadsheets.
Attendance on autopilot
Clock-in reminders, absent marking, an end-of-day reminder and automatic clock-out follow your office hours, with a report to admins.
Payroll with income tax
Monthly runs calculate pay, pro-rating, absence and late deductions, and income tax using Bangladesh slabs, rebates and taxpayer categories.
Leave with a cover person
Advance leave goes to the cover person, then the manager, then the admin, and the balance is held from the moment it is requested.
Official certificates
Employment certificates, visa letters with NOC, and release and experience certificates, approved by a manager and an admin, issued as branded PDFs.
Connect attendance devices
Fingerprint, face or card devices can send punches through a secure API, with a token per device, employee mapping and retry.
One month in SHOCHOL
Each step feeds the next, so payroll uses the attendance and leave your team already approved.
Clock in
Employees clock in from the dashboard or a connected device; late status is set from office start plus grace.
Request
Leave, late-entry and early-exit requests go to their approvers, and leave balances update on their own.
Close the month
Attendance, leave and holidays are already in the records, with every correction audit-logged.
Run payroll
Generate the month, review it, mark it ready, then paid. Export the register to Excel.
Self-service
Employees download payslips and salary certificates and estimate their own income tax.

SHOCHOL questions
Short answers to what businesses ask before a demo.
Can staff clock in from home?
Yes. Set each employee as office, hybrid or remote. Remote staff, and hybrid staff on home days, clock in from anywhere and their location is saved.
Can we stop people clocking in away from the office?
Yes. Set your office on a map with an allowed distance from 50 to 5,000 metres. Office staff outside it cannot clock in.
Does it work with our fingerprint or face devices?
Any device or middleware that can send attendance events to SHOCHOL's secure API works. Tell us your device brand when you book a demo.
Does it calculate Bangladesh income tax?
Yes. Payroll applies the published tax slabs, the investment rebate and the special taxpayer categories, and employees can estimate their own tax.
Can employees download their payslips?
Yes, as PDF, together with a salary certificate.
Can we import our current employee list?
Yes, from Excel or CSV using our template, with a preview before anything is saved.
Who approves leave?
Advance leave goes to the cover person, then the manager, then the admin. Each step is emailed and logged.
Is our data kept apart from other companies?
Yes. Each company has its own database and its own web address.
