इंडस्ट्रियल और सर्विस SMEs के लिए — कॉन्ट्रैक्टर रिकॉर्ड, शिफ्ट हाज़िरी और पेस्लिप।
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.
From account setup to your first payslip, most businesses are running within a day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The HR problems here are specific. These are the ones Offrd solves most often.
Manage plant workers, supervisors, and support staff with clear records across sites.
Offer letters and experience certificates for contractual employees at every engagement.
Define and track morning, afternoon, and night shifts across multiple sites.
Payslips with statutory deduction lines that can be produced on request.
All four Labour Codes came into effect on 21 November 2025. Three changes directly affect how small businesses manage HR.
Under the new Codes, every employer must issue a formal appointment letter to all workers, including contractual and fixed-term staff. Verbal agreements are no longer sufficient. Offrd generates compliant appointment and offer letters in under three minutes.
The Code on Wages requires that basic salary form a minimum of 50 percent of an employee's total gross wages. Businesses that currently have low basic pay and high allowances will need to restructure their CTC. This also affects PF, gratuity, and ESI calculations, as these are computed on wage components.
Previously, gratuity required five years of continuous service. Under the new Social Security Code, fixed-term and contractual employees become eligible for gratuity after completing one year of service. Businesses that rely heavily on fixed-term or seasonal workers will need to factor this into cost planning.
Questions we hear most often from businesses getting started 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Labour Codes effective November 2025 require appointment letters for all workers including contractual staff. They also mandate that basic pay be at least 50 percent of gross wages and extend gratuity eligibility to fixed-term employees after one year of service. For industrial businesses in Begusarai with large contractor workforces, issuing formal appointment letters to all engaged workers is the most immediate compliance step.
Yes. All four Labour Codes came into effect on 21 November 2025, replacing 29 older central labour laws. Three changes are directly relevant to small businesses. First, appointment letters are now mandatory for all workers, regardless of employment type. Second, basic pay must be at least 50 percent of an employee's gross wages, which may require restructuring existing salary components. Third, fixed-term employees become eligible for gratuity after one year of continuous service instead of the earlier five-year threshold. The detailed Central and State rules, including Bihar-specific rules, are still being finalized and are expected around April 2026. During this transition, existing HR practices continue to apply alongside the new Codes. The most immediate step for any business is ensuring every employee has a formal appointment letter on record.
