What do small businesses in Begusarai need from HR software?

Supplier and service businesses around the Barauni refinery complex often have a workforce that is part permanent and part contractual, with some contract workers returning repeatedly over several years but never formalised on paper. When a statutory audit happens or a worker claims dues, the absence of clear employment records makes everything harder to resolve.

The exigent part is not setting up the system, it is the discipline of issuing appointment letters to every worker at the start of each engagement. Offrd makes that fast enough that it actually happens. Add the contractor, generate the appointment letter, and mark their employment period. When the engagement ends, generate the experience certificate. When they return for the next engagement, reactivate and issue a new letter. The full history stays in the account.

How to set up HR software for your Begusarai business

From account setup to your first payslip, most businesses are running within a day.

01

Separate permanent and contractual staff from the start

Create distinct designations for permanent employees and contract workers. Their salary structures, attendance records, and letters are kept separately in the same account. Reports can show each category independently.

02

QR codes at plant and depot entry points

Each site gets its own QR. Workers scan on arrival. For transport staff and field crew who move between locations, geo-location check-in records where they were at the time.

03

Issue appointment letters at every contract start

When a contractor begins an engagement, generate their appointment letter before work starts. The new Labour Codes make this mandatory. With Offrd it takes under three minutes so there is no reason to skip it.

04

Experience certificates ready in two minutes when someone leaves

Select the worker, choose experience letter, and download. The letter pulls the joining date, designation, and last working date from the record. Correct, consistent, and available immediately.

What Begusarai businesses use Offrd for

The HR problems here are specific. These are the ones Offrd solves most often.

Industrial workforce tracking

Manage plant workers, supervisors, and support staff with clear records across sites.

Contractor staff documentation

Offer letters and experience certificates for contractual employees at every engagement.

Shift rosters for depots and transport

Define and track morning, afternoon, and night shifts across multiple sites.

Audit-ready payslips

Payslips with statutory deduction lines that can be produced on request.

What do the New Labour Codes 2025 mean for Begusarai businesses?

The commencement date for all four labour codes was 21 November 2025. Three of the changes affect how a small business handles HR.

01

Allowances over half of pay fall into wages

The Code on Wages says what wages are, and allowances left out of that definition cannot take over the packet. Anything beyond half of total remuneration is added back. For Begusarai industrial units running a low basic with heavy allowances, that lifts the figure on which provident fund, gratuity and ESI get calculated.

02

Put the appointment terms in writing

A written appointment letter now has to go to every worker, contractual and fixed-term hands as much as permanent staff. Word of mouth no longer covers it. Offrd drafts the appointment letter, and the offer letter before it, in three minutes or so.

03

Settle final wages within two working days

An employer gets two working days, counted from the last day worked, to pay a leaver in full, under section 17(2) of that Code. Begusarai has a Labour Court of its own and the Deputy Labour Commissioner in the same town, so a delayed settlement does not stay quiet for long.

Where things stand now: The Codes are live, though the central and state rules sitting under them have not been settled, and existing practice continues alongside meanwhile. The offices behind all of this are the same ones as before: the District Labour Superintendent, Begusarai for shop registration on serviceonline.bihar.gov.in, and the Begusarai Circle at Nawab Chowk for professional tax, with a second circle at Teghra inside the district. Written appointment letters are the first action.

What do Begusarai business owners ask about HR software?

Questions we hear most often from businesses getting started in Begusarai.

What HR software works for industrial and contractor businesses in Begusarai?

Industrial businesses in Begusarai need HR software that handles contractor staff alongside permanent employees, tracks shift attendance across multiple sites, and produces payslips that hold up during labour audits. Offrd covers all of these without requiring a dedicated HR team or any IT setup.

How do I manage contractor staff records for an industrial business in Begusarai?

Add contractor staff as employees with the contractual designation and a defined employment period. Their attendance, payslips, and documents are maintained in the same account as permanent staff but with separate records. When an engagement ends, deactivate the employee without losing any records.

How do I generate experience certificates for contractor staff in Begusarai?

From the employee record, select experience letter. The letter auto-fills the joining date, designation, and last working date. Download as PDF or share digitally. This takes under two minutes and produces a document that satisfies standard employment verification requirements.

Are payslips from Offrd acceptable for labour audits in industrial units?

Payslips include all standard components including basic, HRA, allowances, and statutory deductions in a consistent format. They can be downloaded for any month and any employee. For guidance on PF components and applicable rates refer to our PF Calculation Guide.

How does shift attendance work for plant workers at multiple sites in Begusarai?

Each plant or depot gets its own QR code. Workers scan on arrival and departure. Supervisors can also mark attendance manually from the dashboard for workers without smartphones. All data from all sites is visible in one account.

What do the new Labour Codes mean for contractor-heavy industrial businesses in Begusarai?

The Codes in force since November 2025 call for an appointment letter for every worker, contractual hands included. They also add excluded allowances back into wages where those allowances exceed half of total remuneration, and they open gratuity to fixed-term employees after a year of service. For a Begusarai industrial unit carrying a large contractor workforce, writing the letters for everyone engaged is the immediate job.

Does the new Labour Code 2025 apply to my business in Begusarai?

Yes. All four labour codes commenced on 21 November 2025 and took the place of 29 central labour laws. A small firm in Begusarai should note three of them. Allowances left out of wages are added back above the half of total remuneration mark, so the contributions computed on wages go up. A written appointment letter is needed for every worker, whatever the form of engagement. Final wages have to reach a leaver within two working days, counted from the last day worked, a deadline set by section 17(2). Central and Bihar rules beneath the Codes have not been settled, and existing practice continues alongside meanwhile. The District Labour Superintendent, Begusarai and the Nawab Chowk circle office are still where filings go. Start with letters.

What attendance record does a small employer have to keep?

A record of days worked, leave taken and days lost for each employee, kept as the month goes on. Under the state Shops and Establishments Act this sits alongside the wage register, and most states now accept it in digital form.

The record serves three purposes at once: the payslip, the contribution returns, and the leave balance that will be encashed when someone leaves. A single source for all three is the point.

attendance regularisation

How should a small company explain CTC to a candidate?

With a table, not a sentence. One column for the annual figure, one for the monthly, and a row for each component: basic, house rent allowance, any special allowance, the employer provident fund share, and the estimated deductions. The last row is estimated monthly take home, marked as an estimate because tax depends on the regime and the declarations the employee makes.

Companies in Bihar that do this at the offer stage spend much less time on salary disputes later, and their appointment letters and payslips agree with each other by construction.

Frequently asked questions

Which district handles filings for Begusarai?

In Begusarai. Filings for a Begusarai employer go to offices appointed for that district rather than for the town.

Who collects professional tax from a Begusarai employer?

Incharge of the Begusarai Circle, Commercial Taxes (State Tax) Department - 'DCCT, Begusarai Circle, Nawab Chowk, Behind SDO Office, Begusarai'. The district also has a separate Teghra Circle.

Does a fully remote team still need an attendance record?

Yes. The obligation attaches to the employment, not to the office. A remote team still needs days worked, leave taken and loss of pay recorded, because the payslip and the contribution returns are built from those figures.
