Weave: All-in-One HR Platform for Sri Lankan Teams
Bizadvisor is partnering with Weave, the all-in-one HR platform for Sri Lankan teams, to help the businesses we work with run payroll, attendance and HR in one place.
Once a Sri Lankan business has employees, every month brings payroll, EPF and ETF contributions, employee income tax under APIT, attendance and leave to manage. When this work is spread across spreadsheets and disconnected tools, it takes time and is easy to get wrong.
Weave brings payroll, EPF and ETF, attendance from fingerprint terminals or mobile check-in, leave, rosters and people management into one modern system, compliant with Sri Lankan regulations. HR teams use a web console and employees use the Weave app on iOS and Android.
This article explains what Weave does and how it supports a growing business.
Quick Answer
Weave is an all-in-one HR platform for Sri Lankan businesses. It runs monthly payroll with EPF, ETF and PAYE calculated automatically, records attendance from fingerprint terminals or mobile check-in, and manages leave, rosters, expense claims, assets and employee records in one system. HR admins work from a web console, employees use the Weave app on iOS and Android, and pricing is 299 LKR per active user per month, billed annually, with the first 30 days free.
One Platform for Your Whole Team
Weave replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a single system that handles the entire employee lifecycle. It covers:
- Payroll. Run monthly payroll in minutes. EPF, ETF and PAYE are calculated automatically, and digital payslips are ready to share.
- Attendance and time. Fingerprint terminals and mobile check-in feed one timesheet, with overtime flowing straight into payroll.
- Rosters and shifts. Build shift templates once, then plan a duty roster for the month and publish it to everyone on the team.
- Leave management. Set up leave types and policies, let employees request time off, and approve it all from one place.
- People management. Keep every employee record, document and role in a single, secure directory.
- Expense claims. Employees submit claims with receipts from the app, and approvals are tracked against your own categories.
- Asset tracking. Record laptops, phones and equipment, and know who is holding what and since when.
- Announcements. Send notices to the whole company, a department or a few people, and see who has read them.
- Statutory reports. Generate EPF, ETF and bank transfer files in the formats Sri Lankan authorities and banks expect.
Built for Sri Lankan Compliance
Weave keeps up with EPF, ETF and PAYE, so every payroll run produces the contributions, returns and files the authorities and banks expect. Compliance in Weave covers:
- EPF contributions (employer and employee). See our guide to EPF.
- ETF contributions. See our guide to ETF.
- PAYE / APIT tax tables. See our guide to APIT.
- EPF C Form and statutory returns
- Bank salary transfer files
- Digital payslips
Attendance and overtime flow straight into payroll, and Weave calculates EPF, ETF and PAYE automatically, with payslips ready to share.
Attendance From Fingerprint Terminals or Mobile Check-In
Weave supports two ways of recording attendance:
- Fingerprint terminals. Weave works with ZK push protocol terminals such as the FOCUS FC2815 and compatible models. The terminal connects to Weave on its own, so no VPN or local server is needed.
- Mobile check-in. Employees check in from the Weave app, with their location verified against your office.
Whichever method an employee uses, the hours land in the same timesheet and flow directly into payroll, including overtime.
A Web Console for HR and an App for Employees
Weave is built for both the people who run HR and everyone else on the team:
- Web console for HR and admins. Run payroll, plan rosters, review attendance, and approve leave and expense claims from one dashboard.
- Mobile app for employees. Employees check in, view payslips, request leave, submit expense claims and read announcements on iOS and Android.
