Offrd generates offer letters, payslips, onboarding documents and relieving letters for Karnataka businesses. No dedicated HR staff needed. Works for teams of 5 to 250 across any district in the state.
Karnataka's workforce spans IT services in Bangalore, cement and foundry work in Belagavi and Bagalkot, iron ore operations in Ballari, coffee estates in Chikkamagaluru, dairy cooperatives in Hassan and port-linked logistics in Mangaluru. Each sector has different hiring patterns but the same core HR paperwork requirement: proper offer letters, organised onboarding, monthly payslips and clean exit documentation. Karnataka businesses are governed by the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961 for most establishments, with PF applicability starting at 20 employees and ESI at 10. Payslips must reflect Professional Tax deductions under the Karnataka Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976. Offrd organises all of these documents in one account without requiring a separate HR system for each location or department.
Each document type below is available from the same account. Use one or all depending on what your team needs at any point.
| Document | When it is used | Karnataka context |
|---|---|---|
| Offer letter | Before a new hire joins | Required for formal employment under the Karnataka Shops Act. Carries CTC, designation and joining date. |
| Appointment letter | On or after the joining date | Confirms terms of employment. Standard requirement for PF registration and employee bank account opening. |
| Payslip | Monthly | Includes PF, ESI and Professional Tax deduction fields. Accepted by banks and lenders for loan processing. |
| Probation confirmation | End of probation period | Confirms permanent status. Required for some employee benefit eligibility. |
| Increment letter | Annual or on promotion | Documents revised CTC. Needed for employee records and future reference checks. |
| Experience letter | On resignation or separation | Confirms tenure and role. Required by most employers and background verification agencies. |
| Relieving letter | On last working day | Required by next employer. Protects business in case of disputes about separation date or terms. |
