Tinsukia is contiguous to Assam's northeastern trade routes, hosting SMEs in transport, logistics, and manufacturing. Managing driver attendance, shift payroll, and contractor records manually is a persistent drag on operations. Offrd automates the whole cycle so you spend less time on paperwork and more on running the business.
Payroll and payslips, attendance and leave, onboarding and offer letters, the letters for probation, confirmation, increment and separation, and one employee database holding the lot together.
Statutory ready: employee state insurance, provident fund, and registration under Assam Shops and Establishments.
Tracking shift timings across routes and sites is nearly impossible with spreadsheets.
Manual overtime calculations cause errors and disputes that drag through the month.
Missing documents and scattered approvals create compliance gaps.
Two layers apply to an employer in Tinsukia. The local layer comes from Assam and from Tinsukia district. The central layer is the same everywhere in India.
Confirm this before you rely on it. Any of this can change on a notification you will not see. Verify the office with the department, and take advice from your chartered accountant or labour law adviser on what actually applies to you. General information only, not legal or tax advice. Offrd is not affiliated with these offices. Last checked 12 September 2026. Corrections to service@offrd.co, please.
The four labour codes came into force on 21 November 2025. The change small employers feel first is the two working day deadline for final wages under section 17(2) of the Code on Wages, which replaced settlement practices that ran to 30 or 45 days.
The second is the definition of wages. Where allowances excluded from wages exceed half of total remuneration, the excess is added back for statutory purposes, so salary structures built to keep basic pay thin no longer reduce provident fund or gratuity.
Deduct tax under section 192 every month, deposit it by the due date, and file the quarterly salary return so the deposits show against each employee permanent account number. Part A is generated from those filings, so a quarter filed late or with a wrong number produces a certificate that does not match what the employee sees on the tax portal.
Most of the correction work at companies in Assam traces to permanent account numbers entered wrongly at joining. Collecting and verifying that in the joining kit is the cheap point to fix it.
The offer letter invites someone to join. The appointment letter is the employment contract that takes over once they do. In practice many companies in Tinsukia issue only one document and treat it as both, which works until a dispute, at which point the missing terms are the ones being argued about.
An appointment letter carries the terms the offer letter usually skips: confidentiality, intellectual property, the leave entitlement, the disciplinary process, transfer and deputation, and the grounds on which employment can end. It is issued on or shortly after the joining date and signed by both sides.
Where it applies, overtime is paid at twice the ordinary rate of wages, and the daily and weekly hour caps come from the state Shops and Establishments Act or the Factories Act depending on the establishment. Managerial and supervisory roles are usually outside the overtime provisions, and where the line falls is set by the applicable Act rather than by the job title.
The record matters as much as the rate. Overtime claimed without an hours record is hard to defend either way.
In Tinsukia. Filings for a Tinsukia employer go to offices appointed for that district rather than for the town.
Commissionerate of Taxes, Assam (Finance/Taxation Department) under the Assam Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Taxation Act, 1947. The employer registers as an employer, deducts tax from salaries and files the Form III return prescribed by rule 12 of the Assam Professions, Trades.
The existing Acts and rules continue in force while the codes settle in, and the government transition note says so. The practical answer for a small employer is to follow the state numbers today and expect them to move toward the codes over time.
Works for depots, warehouses, and mobile field crews.
Shift and overtime-ready calculations every cycle.

Upper Assam's parent provident fund office is the EPFO Sub-Regional Office here in Tinsukia. It takes in Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Jorhat and Sivasagar districts, and local employers register and file the ECR straight through it.
Businesses here register for ESI through the upper Assam ESIC structure. At 10 eligible employees the obligation to register and to remit each month starts.
ESI deductions are computed within Offrd's payroll: for an eligible employee, 0.75% of gross wages, with the employer adding 3.25% of gross wages.
No lock-ins, no minimums. Choose the plan that suits your operation.
For occasional hiring, seasonal workers, or a roll that keeps changing. You are charged at the point a document comes out, or an action goes off.
All features, no minimum. Twenty active employees is ₹1,000 a month, moving with the headcount.
Yes. Offrd supports location-based and QR attendance for mobile crews, depot staff, and field workers. Payroll handles shift-based and overtime calculations automatically.
At Rs 50 for one active employee for a month, 35 people comes to Rs 1,750. Where the headcount is unsteady, Rs 99 buys a document or an action on its own.
The Sub-Regional Office sits in Tinsukia at Amar Complex, AT Road, Tinsukia 786125. It is the parent provident fund office for upper Assam, taking in Dibrugarh, Jorhat and Sivasagar as well. Email: sro.tinsukia@epfindia.gov.in.
