100% Self-Hosted · Permanent Data Sovereignty
Unlike third-party HR SaaS platforms that store confidential employee salaries, government tax IDs, and attendance records on proprietary cloud infrastructure, HR Press Pro runs entirely inside your WordPress installation. No employee data ever leaves your server, and you never pay monthly per-seat subscription penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about licensing, setup, and updates.
Is there an artificial limit on the number of employees I can manage?
No. Because HRPress Pro runs directly on your own WordPress infrastructure, you can manage an unlimited number of employees, departments, and shift schedules without paying tiered per-seat or monthly recurring fees.
How does office IP address whitelisting prevent punch fraud?
You can configure allowed office IP addresses in the HRPress attendance settings. Employees can only clock in, clock out, or log breaks when their device is connected to your designated workplace network, preventing remote attendance fraud.
Can employees access standard WordPress admin menus or settings?
No. HRPress uses a dedicated hrp_employee role that sandboxes staff into a distraction-free self-service dashboard, completely hiding WordPress core admin menus, plugins, and settings.
How does the automated payroll calculation work?
HRPress automatically computes net earnings by combining base pay with custom allowance rules and deduction deductions. You can generate branded, print-optimized payslips and automatically dispatch payout notification emails with dynamic placeholder merge tags.
