Payroll and HR software for Purnia: what small businesses actually need

A FMCG distributor running three godowns across Purnia district has a straightforward HR problem: attendance for godown staff is tracked on paper at each site by a different supervisor, payslips are calculated manually and sometimes wrong, and when a route salesperson leaves they ask for an experience letter that nobody can produce quickly. None of these are difficult problems. They just never got fixed because no single tool covered all three.

Offrd handles attendance at multiple sites from one account. Each godown gets a QR code. Route staff check in from their phones. Payslips run at month end from the consolidated attendance data. The HR challenge here is compendious but not complicated once the right system is in place.

How to set up HR software for your Purnia business

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

01

Add each godown or sales point as a location

Register your main office and each warehouse or godown separately within one account. Attendance records are kept per location but visible together in one dashboard.

02

QR codes for godown staff, geo-location for route teams

Print a QR and put it at each godown entry. Route salespeople and delivery staff mark attendance from their phones using the geo-location option. Both feed into the same system.

03

Peak season hiring takes minutes, not a day

When demand rises and you need extra warehouse workers, add each employee and generate their offer letter from a saved template. A batch of 10 new hires can be processed in under an hour.

04

Payslips for all locations come from one place

At month end, payslips for staff across all godowns and the field team generate from the same account. Download individually or in bulk. No manual calculation across different registers.

New Labour Codes 2025: what Purnia businesses need to do

All four Labour Codes came into effect on 21 November 2025. Three changes directly affect how small businesses manage HR.

01

Appointment letters are now mandatory

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.

02

Basic pay must be at least 50 percent of gross wages

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.

03

Gratuity after one year for fixed-term employees

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.

Where things stand now: The Codes are in force but the detailed Central and State rules, including Bihar-specific rules, are still being finalized. Final rules are expected around April 2026. During this transition, existing labour laws continue to apply alongside the new Codes. The most immediate action for any business is ensuring all workers have a formal appointment letter on record.

HR software questions from Purnia business owners

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

What is the best HR software for FMCG distributors in Purnia?

FMCG distributors in Purnia need HR software that tracks attendance across multiple warehouses and godowns, handles field sales teams, and generates payslips consistently for all staff regardless of location. Offrd does all of this. Each warehouse gets its own QR code, field staff use geo-location check-in, and payslips are generated from one account.

How do I track attendance for route salespeople and field staff in Purnia?

Field staff mark attendance using the geo-location option on their phone. The system logs the location and time at check-in. You can see all field attendance records in the same dashboard as warehouse staff without any manual consolidation.

How do I onboard warehouse workers quickly during peak demand in Purnia?

Add the new employee, fill in their designation and salary, and generate the offer letter from a saved template. The whole process takes under five minutes. Templates save the most common salary structures so repeat hiring during peak seasons is even faster.

Can one HR account manage staff across multiple godowns in Purnia?

Yes. You can add as many locations as needed. Each gets its own QR code for attendance. All employee records, payslips, and attendance data from every location are visible and searchable within the same account.

What does payroll software cost for a 30-person distribution business in Purnia?

On the subscription plan at Rs 50 per active employee per month, a 30-person team costs Rs 1,500 per month. This covers unlimited payslips, attendance, and all HR letters for the full team. The first five offer letters every month are free with no credit card needed.

How do the new Labour Codes affect agro and FMCG businesses in Purnia?

The Labour Codes effective November 2025 require appointment letters for all workers. For distribution and agro businesses in Purnia that regularly hire seasonal staff, this means issuing formal letters at each engagement rather than relying on verbal agreements. Offrd generates these in under five minutes, making the requirement practical to meet at scale.

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

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.
