The five documents every Beed employer should hold
Offrd is HR software for Beed's mills, traders and service firms. For each employee it generates the five documents that answer nearly every official request: an appointment letter, monthly payslips, an attendance record, a policy file, and exit papers with a settlement. Rs 99 per document or Rs 50 per employee per month, with 50 free credits on signup.
Most document requests a Beed employer will ever face, from a bank, an ESI office, a buyer or a labour officer, are answered by the same five records. Hold these for every worker and the requests stop being emergencies.
Where does a Beed employer register and file?
A business in Beed answers to Maharashtra for some of this and to central law for the rest. Beed district is the district for the local part.
Confirm this before you rely on it. Any of this can change on a notification you will not see. Verify the office with the department, and take advice from your chartered accountant or labour law adviser on what actually applies to you. None of this is legal or tax advice.

What should a small employer do about the labour codes now?
Three things. Make sure exits can be settled within two working days, which is a data problem rather than a legal one. Look at the salary structure against the new wage definition. And keep following the state Shops and Establishments Act for leave, hours and registration, because those continue to apply.
Everything else can wait for the rules to settle. These three have an effect on the next employee who resigns.
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 Maharashtra 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
What district does Beed fall under?
Beed is in Beed. The district matters because the labour office, and in a few states the professional tax authority, are district level appointments.
Who collects professional tax from a Beed employer?
Maharashtra State Tax authorities under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975 - the Commissioner of Profession Tax for the State and the jurisdictional Profession Tax Officer / State Tax Officer (Finance Department).
Did the labour codes replace the Shops and Establishments Acts?
Not in practice yet. The state Acts and their rules continue in force during the transition, so leave entitlements, working hours and registration still come from the state Act that applies where you operate.
The five, in the order officials ask for them
-
1. The appointment letter
Proof the person is your employee, on your terms. Mandatory under the Labour Codes. On Offrd it generates from the employee's record the day they join, designation, pay structure and annexures included.
-
2. Monthly payslips
The record banks and ESI offices trust most. Each slip itemises earnings and shows EPF at 12%, ESI at 0.75% within the Rs 21,000 gross ceiling, and Maharashtra professional tax by the person's slab, Rs 300 in February where it applies.
-
3. The attendance record
Days worked, matching days paid. A QR code at the gate or GPS check in through the free Atndnz app for field staff builds it without a register.
-
4. The policy file
POSH at minimum, leave and conduct ideally. Offrd's guided builder produces them from a questionnaire, so the file exists before a buyer's audit or a complaint makes its absence expensive.
-
5. Exit papers with a settlement
Relieving letter, experience certificate, and a full and final statement itemising every due and deduction with a reference ID. The document that keeps departures from becoming disputes.
Why do these five matter more in a district like Beed?
Because workforces here move. Agricultural cycles pull people between farm work, mills and town jobs through the year, and employers inherit workers with no paper history. The employer who documents from day one is the one whose records stand up when a claim or a query reaches back through a worker's patchy year. It also cuts the other way, workers with proper payslips get their loans approved and their claims honoured, which makes your firm the one people prefer joining.
What does the full set cost per worker?
On pay per use, an appointment letter and a year of payslips is a modest, countable amount at Rs 99 a document, with attendance recording costing nothing extra. The subscription at Rs 50 per active employee includes documents. Both routes are on the pricing page with a calculator. The product overall is on the Offrd India page, and neighbouring Latur, Osmanabad and Aurangabad pages on the Maharashtra hub.
Questions Beed employers ask
A worker joined mid month. Does his first payslip prorate?
Yes. The payslip reflects paid days from the attendance record, and the statutory lines compute on the actual amount, not the full month figure.
We hold none of the five for staff hired years ago. Where to start?
Start with letters for current staff and payslips from this month forward. Building the record from today is what matters, backfilling history is a CA conversation.
Is GPS attendance fair to field staff?
The check in is a moment they trigger, not continuous tracking, and it protects them too, recorded days are days that cannot be argued out of their pay.
Do we need the policy file if we have eight employees?
POSH obligations begin at ten employees for the internal committee, but a written policy costs minutes on the builder and answers the question before it is asked.
Can one account cover our mill and our trading office?
Yes, one company account with locations. Gate attendance at the mill and office attendance in town land in the same payroll.
