HR software in Solapur for units that pay workers weekly and staff monthly
Offrd is HR software for Solapur employers. It issues appointment letters for workers and offer letters for staff, records attendance by QR code, and generates payslips with EPF, ESI and Maharashtra professional tax applied by rule. Rs 99 per document or Rs 50 per employee per month, with 50 free credits on signup.
Solapur's workshops and textile units, the chaddar and towel weavers the city is known for, rarely have an HR person at all. The owner's family runs wages, and the paperwork exists in whatever form the last urgent request forced into being.
Which offices handle HR compliance for a business in Solapur?

When does gratuity become payable?
After five years of continuous service with the same employer, calculated as last drawn wages multiplied by 15, multiplied by completed years, divided by 26. A final part year above six months counts as a full year. The amount is capped at 20 lakh rupees.
Three situations skip the five year rule. Death and permanent disablement pay out at any tenure. A fixed term employee engaged directly becomes eligible after one year, on a proportionate basis. Contract labour supplied through a contractor is the contractor liability rather than yours.
When is statutory bonus paid?
Within eight months of the close of the accounting year, which for most companies means by the end of November for a year ending in March. Many employers in Maharashtra pay it before the festival season instead, which is earlier than required and generally welcomed.
The bonus register and the return are part of the same obligation. Paying the money without keeping the record leaves the compliance half done.
Frequently asked questions
Which district handles filings for Solapur?
In Solapur. Filings for a Solapur employer go to offices appointed for that district rather than for the town.
Who collects professional tax from a Solapur 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).
What wages are used for the gratuity calculation?
Basic pay, dearness allowance and retaining allowance where it exists. House rent allowance, conveyance, overtime and bonus are excluded. Using gross salary from a payroll export is the most common error and it inflates the figure every time.
What goes wrong when wages run on a notebook?
Nothing, for years. Then one thing happens. A worker injured on the job needs to show ESI cover. A bank asks a supervisor for salary slips to approve a two wheeler loan. A buyer's compliance team asks how many workers are on the rolls. The notebook cannot answer any of these, and reconstructing months of records afterwards is miserable work.
The fix is not an HR department. It is generating the record at the moment the event happens. Hire someone, the letter exists. Pay someone, the payslip exists. Each takes a minute on Offrd.
Which deductions actually apply at Solapur wage levels?
Often different ones than in the big cities, which is why copied payslip formats mislead. ESI matters most here, 0.75% from the employee and 3.25% from the employer wherever monthly gross is within Rs 21,000, which covers most loom and helper roles. EPF applies at 12% and 12% on wages up to the Rs 15,000 ceiling. Maharashtra professional tax only begins above Rs 7,500 a month, and the Rs 200 slab only above Rs 10,000, so some workers owe Rs 175 and some owe nothing.
Offrd works this out per employee from their actual salary, rather than applying one blanket deduction to everyone. Your CA gets clean exports for deposits and returns.
Can a family run unit afford proper HR software?
This is the point of pay per use. There is no monthly fee unless you choose one. A unit that hires eight workers this quarter pays Rs 99 for each appointment letter and nothing in the months nobody joins. The 50 free signup credits cover the first several documents entirely.
The one hour version
Sign up, add your unit's details, enter one worker, and generate his appointment letter and a payslip. If the hour convinces you, add the rest. If not, you have spent nothing.

Questions Solapur units ask
Workers come and go with the season. Is each one a fresh setup?
Adding a worker is one short form, and their letter generates from it. When they leave, an exit record closes the file. Rehiring next season reuses nothing sensitive, you simply add them again.
We pay some weavers per piece. Can payslips reflect that?
You set each employee's salary structure yourself, so piece rate earnings entered as the month's pay flow into a payslip with deductions applied to the actual amount.
Is the ESI line automatic or do we mark who gets it?
Automatic by rule. Anyone whose gross pay is within Rs 21,000 gets the ESI lines on their payslip. When a raise crosses the ceiling, the deduction stops per the scheme's rules.
What does the owner see that the notebook never showed?
One screen with everyone's attendance, letters and payslips in one place. The answer to how many people are on rolls this month stops being an estimate.
Who helps if we get stuck?
Chat and email support at service@offrd.co, and a bookable demo. Most units never need more than the first walkthrough.
