Most Bihar SMEs manage HR by hand until something breaks — a missing offer letter, a payslip dispute, an audit with no records. Offrd fixes this. Offer letters in three minutes, attendance via QR, payslips at month end. Free to start. बिना credit card के।
The pattern is common across Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, and smaller towns. A business grows to 15 or 25 staff and the HR process, which was always informal, starts showing gaps. Employees ask for experience letters and there is no clean record to pull from. A PF inspector wants payslip history and the registers are incomplete. A new hire joins without a proper offer letter because nobody set up a template.
The Labour Codes that came into force in November 2025 have made all of this more urgent. Appointment letters are now a legal requirement for every worker, regardless of employment type or business size. Offrd gives Bihar businesses a way to fix the backlog and stay current. Register, add your employees with their salary structures, and start generating letters and tracking attendance the same day. Most teams are set up in under an hour.

Paper registers get lost and WhatsApp threads are not payroll records. QR-based attendance gives you a searchable, permanent record for every employee across every site.
Manual calculation is slow and produces different results month to month. Offrd generates payslips with PF, ESI, and TDS lines automatically from the salary structure you set once.
Experience letters, increment letters, and relieving letters are all in the system. When a worker asks on their last day, the document is ready in two minutes.
All four Labour Codes came into effect on 21 November 2025, replacing 29 existing central labour laws. Three changes affect most Bihar SMEs immediately.
Every employer must issue a formal appointment letter to each worker, including contractual, fixed-term, and seasonal staff. This applies regardless of business size. If you have been relying on verbal agreements, you are now required to issue written letters.
The Code on Wages requires basic salary to form a minimum of 50 percent of total gross wages. Businesses with high allowances and low basic pay will need to restructure their CTC. This changes how PF, gratuity, and ESI are calculated since all three are based on wage components.
The previous requirement was five years of continuous service. Under the new Social Security Code, fixed-term and contractual employees become eligible after completing one year. For Bihar businesses that use seasonal or contract workers this changes how employment costs are planned.
Common questions from business owners across Bihar getting started with digital HR.
For small businesses in Bihar, the right HR software should handle offer letters, attendance, and payslips without requiring a dedicated HR team or IT setup. Offrd is browser-based, has no minimum employee count, and the first five offer letters every month are free. Paid plans start at Rs 99 per document or Rs 50 per active employee per month.
Yes. All four Labour Codes came into effect on 21 November 2025. Appointment letters are now mandatory for all workers, basic pay must be at least 50 percent of gross wages, and fixed-term employees become eligible for gratuity after one year instead of five. Bihar state rules are still being finalised and are expected around April 2026.

You can add multiple locations within one Offrd account. Each site gets its own QR code for attendance. All records consolidate in one dashboard.

The first five offer letters every month are free with no credit card required.
