Run dealer and workshop HR without an HR manager.

Independent car dealers, used car lots, commercial vehicle dealers, and multi-brand workshops in India use Offrd to issue offer letters, payslips, and exit documents from one login. Your accountant or admin can run it.

50 free credits on signup. No credit card. 4,000+ Indian companies on Offrd.

Five situations that come up in every workshop and showroom.

If any of these sound familiar, the result is what you would expect.

01

A mechanic walks in for joining and you have nothing in writing for him.

Pick the workshop appointment letter, fill role, salary, and joining date, and hand him the printout in five minutes. Same template works for permanent and contract roles.

02

A used car salesperson disputes his commission for the third time this quarter.

Show him the payslip with base, commission rate, units, and final number on one page. Most arguments end there. The numbers are on record for whoever asks next.

03

A labour officer turns up asking for appointment letter copies for the last six months.

Filter by joining date, download the PDFs, and hand them over. Section 17(2) of the Code on Wages 2019, effective 21 November 2025, made these letters mandatory for every worker.

04

A mechanic who has been on the floor for two years has no paperwork at all.

Add him today, issue an appointment letter dated forward, and start payslip generation from this month. For backdated periods, talk to your consultant. Going forward you have a record.

05

A service advisor leaves on Friday and asks for an experience letter on Monday.

Generate it from his employee record. Joining date, designation, last working day, salary band, all flow through. Email it to him. Do the F&F in the same screen.

What you can issue from one login.

Why this matters more in 2026 than it did in 2024.

Independent workshops and dealers carry the same statutory obligations as authorized OEM dealerships, but rarely have anyone assigned to HR. Appointment letters and payslip records are required under most state Shops and Establishments Acts, and from 21 November 2025 under the Code on Wages 2019 nationally. In practice, many businesses only discover this during an inspection or an employee dispute.

Used car dealers and commission heavy structures bring their own risk. When a salesperson disputes a payout and there is no clear breakup on a payslip, the conversation drags. A clean payslip with the base, rate, and final number resolves most of those before they escalate.

Commercial vehicle dealers and fleet workshops manage mechanics, drivers, and sales staff on widely different pay bands. The documents required at joining and exit are the same across all of them. Offrd has the formats for every role without asking you to build a template from scratch.

Pricing is straightforward. Rs.99 per document on the pay per use plan, or Rs.50 per active employee per month on the subscription. Start with 50 free credits and switch plans whenever your team size changes.

Common questions from workshop and dealership owners.

We have contract mechanics on rolling 3 month arrangements. Can Offrd handle those?

Yes. Issue fixed term appointment letters with start and end dates. Generate the experience letter at the end of the term using the same employee record.

Can I generate commission based payslips for used car salespeople?

Yes. Add commission and any variable component manually per employee. They appear as separate line items on the payslip alongside base salary and statutory deductions.

A mechanic has worked here informally for two years. What can I do now?

Add him to Offrd today and start issuing payslips and letters from this month. For periods before today, speak to your legal or HR consultant about the right way to regularize.

Do you need a fixed check in machine for the workshop?

No biometric hardware needed. Mechanics check in via Atndnz on their own phone. Geo fence or QR code, your choice.

Can I run multiple workshops or dealerships from one account?

Yes. Add each branch as a separate unit. Letters, payslips, and attendance stay organized by location. One login for the owner.

What does it cost?

Rs.99 per document on pay per use, or Rs.50 per active employee per month on the subscription. New accounts get 50 free credits. Full pricing.

Most workshop owners create their first appointment letter on the same day they sign up.
