HR Policy Generator for Indian SMEs

Most small businesses in India have no written HR policies until something goes sideways

Early stage companies rarely write down HR policies. There is always something more pressing. Leave rules get communicated verbally. Conduct expectations are understood but never spelled out. Grievance procedures live in the founder's head.

This works until it doesn't. Past a certain headcount, employees start asking questions no one has a written answer to. New hires want the rules from day one. Without anything written, every exception becomes a precedent, and every decision becomes a negotiation.

Offrd ships a policy generator inside its document suite. It sits in the same dashboard as your offer letters, onboarding, and payslips. The same tool you already use for other HR documents lets you stand up a baseline policy set without retainers or templates from a forum.

Six policies you can draft from the Offrd dashboard

The policy generator runs on a short questionnaire about your business. You describe how things actually work in your company, and the platform produces a tailored draft instead of a generic template.

HR Policy Document

The master HR document. Combines sub-policies you select: Leave, Maternity, Gratuity, Remote Work, and others. Useful as a single handbook for your team.

POSH Policy

Prevention of Sexual Harassment policy drafted to align with the POSH Act, 2013. The Act requires an Internal Complaints Committee at workplaces with 10 or more employees, and a written policy is the typical baseline.

Health and Safety Policy

Workplace safety protocols and health guidelines for your office or site, written in plain language for employees to follow.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy

Ethical conduct policy covering employee obligations, gift rules, and reporting procedures for suspected violations.

Social Media Policy

Guidelines for employee social media usage and conduct, covering both personal accounts that mention the company and official channels.

Intellectual Property Policy

IP protection and confidentiality terms covering work produced during employment, assignments, and trade secrets.

How a policy gets drafted

Three steps inside the dashboard. Most small businesses have a usable first draft within a single sitting.

Step 1

Pick a policy and answer the questionnaire

Choose a policy type, then work through plain business questions like, "Do you provide casual leave to employees?" The answers shape the content the platform generates.

Step 2

Edit in the rich text editor

The draft opens in an editor with bold, italics, alignment, lists, tables, and links. Your company name and a Reference ID are pulled in automatically, so the boilerplate is taken care of.

Step 3

Save as draft or finalise

Save and resume later, or publish the policy. Saved Policies tracks version (v1.0 onward), creation date, and last updated date, with per-policy Edit, Download, and Delete actions.

Modular sub-policies for the master HR document

The HR Policy Document is not a single monolith. You pick the sub-policies that apply to your business and skip the rest. The questionnaire then tunes each section to your answers.

Leave (casual, sick, earned, maternity)
Gratuity
Remote work
Code of conduct and discipline
Grievance redressal
Working hours and overtime

Built for the way founders actually work

You will not be drafting policies on a quiet day. You will be doing it between hiring rounds, payroll runs, and customer fires. The generator is designed for short bursts of attention.

Common questions

Do small businesses in India need written HR policies?

No specific law mandates a full HR policy set for small businesses, but a few rules apply once you cross thresholds. The POSH Act, 2013 requires an Internal Complaints Committee at workplaces with 10 or more employees. Beyond statutory minimums, written policies on leave, conduct, and grievance handling reduce disputes and cut down ad hoc decisions every week.

How does Offrd's policy generator work?

You pick a policy type, answer a short questionnaire about your business (for example, do you provide casual leave to employees), and the platform drafts the policy text. You can then refine the draft in the rich text editor, save it as a draft, or finalise and download it. The platform auto-pulls your company name and assigns a Reference ID.

Which policies can I generate?

Six are available right now: a master HR Policy Document that combines sub-policies (Leave, Maternity, Gratuity, Remote Work, and others), a POSH Policy, a Health and Safety Policy, an Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy, a Social Media Policy, and an Intellectual Property Policy.

Can I edit a generated policy?

Yes. Each policy opens in a rich text editor with bold, italics, alignment, lists, tables, and links. You can save it as a draft and resume later, or finalise it. Saved policies sit in a dashboard with version control (v1.0 onward), creation and last updated dates, and per-policy Edit, Download, and Delete actions.

Do I need HR experience to use it?

No. Offrd is built for businesses without a dedicated HR team. The questionnaire flow asks plain questions about how you run your company, so you do not need prior HR or legal training to produce a usable first draft.

Is policy generation included in the subscription?

Yes. It is part of the Offrd platform. New accounts get 50 free credits on signup. After that, plans are Rs 99 per document or Rs 50 per active employee per month, and you can switch between them anytime.
