When early-stage tech companies typically get HR wrong

The first few hires at a tech company usually get proper offer letters because the founders are aware they are setting a precedent. By hire number 8 or 10, the process has typically degraded into informal emails and WhatsApp confirmations, with the actual documentation following weeks later when someone finds time.

PF registration is mandatory once the establishment crosses 20 employees. Most early-stage tech companies cross this threshold during a hiring sprint and discover their PF registration is overdue when the first employee asks about their PF account. Getting the registration and the backlogged contributions in order after the fact is considerably more complicated than staying current from the beginning.

Labour Code 2025, effective November 2025, requires written appointment letters for all workers including interns and contract staff. Many early-stage companies engage interns under informal arrangements that technically do not comply with this requirement. A simple appointment letter specifying the duration, role, and stipend satisfies the obligation and takes two minutes.

The investor due diligence scenario deserves more attention than most founders give it. A pre-Series A data room request for employment records going back 18 months is standard. When those records are scattered across email folders and individual computers, assembling them is a significant exercise. Keeping them in one place from the start is not extra work; it is the same work done more efficiently.

Common questions

When should an early-stage tech company start caring about HR documentation?

From the first hire. Offer letters, payslips, and onboarding records are easier to maintain from the start than to reconstruct later.

Does Offrd handle PF and ESI for small tech teams?

PF and ESI components are supported in payslip generation. Whether your establishment is required to register for PF and ESI depends on your headcount and state. Confirm with your CA.

We hire interns frequently. Do they need formal appointment letters?

Under Labour Codes 2025, written contracts are required for all workers including interns and contract staff. A brief appointment letter specifying the duration, role, and stipend satisfies this requirement.

Can we use Offrd across multiple co-founders and locations?

Yes. Multiple users can be added to the same Offrd account with appropriate access levels.

What HR documents does a pre-Series A data room typically require?

Offer letters for all current employees, payslip records for the past 12 months, increment letters, and employment confirmation letters are standard requests.
