HR Software for 91Springboard Startups and Small Teams

Smart HR for teams under 100

Most early stage companies do not have a full time HR desk. Founders, finance heads or office managers end up drafting letters, tracking attendance and juggling compliance. Offrd keeps it simple and compliant for Indian startups and SMEs.

When is statutory bonus paid?

Within eight months of the close of the accounting year, which for most companies means by the end of November for a year ending in March. Many employers in India pay it before the festival season instead, which is earlier than required and generally welcomed.

The bonus register and the return are part of the same obligation. Paying the money without keeping the record leaves the compliance half done.

What documents should an employee leave with?

The settlement statement, the relieving letter, the experience letter, and later the Form 16 for the year. Where provident fund applies, the employee also needs their universal account number and the exit date marked in the fund record so the next employer can link rather than duplicate it.

Marking the date of exit in the fund record is the step most often forgotten, and it blocks the transfer at the other end.

Why do employees question their payslip?

Usually because the deductions are not explained. Provident fund at 12 percent of basic and dearness allowance, employee state insurance at 0.75 percent of gross where the wage ceiling applies, professional tax where the state levies it, and tax deducted at source under section 192. Four different bases, four different rules, and a single net figure at the bottom.

Showing the base alongside the deduction ends most of those conversations. So does keeping the salary structure stable, because a change in the basic pay share moves provident fund and gratuity at the same time.

What does a new employee need in the first week?

The appointment letter, a copy of the leave and working hours policy, the provident fund and employee state insurance enrolment done rather than pending, and a clear statement of the probation period and what closes it. That is the compliance half.

The other half is ordinary: who they report to, what the first month should produce, and when the first review happens. Companies in India that write those three things down lose fewer people in the first ninety days.
