Payroll Basics for a District That Runs on Mehnat

Betul works hard. Agriculture, forest produce, sawmills, small industry, and trade keep the district moving, and most of these businesses pay their karamchari on time every month. What is usually missing is not the money, it is the paper behind the money. Wages get handed over, and nothing gets recorded in a form a bank, a buyer, or an inspector would accept.

Offrd fixes the paper side without asking you to change how you work. You enter each person's salary once. Every month, Offrd applies EPF at 12% employee and 12% employer, ESI at 3.25% employer and 0.75% employee, and PT as per state slabs, then produces a clean payslip. Gratuity and full and final settlements are computed the same way when someone leaves.

What your monthly payroll run covers:

  • Payslips with PF, ESI, and PT shown line by line
  • One record per employee that carries forward each month
  • CSV exports your CA can open directly for filings
  • Full and final settlement when a worker moves on
  • Form 16 generation, added in May 2026

No spreadsheet formulas to protect, no year-end panic. Just a hisaab that agrees with itself.

Records That Survive a Contractor Audit

The thermal power township at Sarni means one thing for many Betul businesses: institutional buyers. Vendors, contractors, and service providers who work around a power township get asked for PF-compliant wage records, attendance proof, and employment letters as a condition of the contract. A verbal arrangement with your workers does not pass that check, however fair it is in practice.

Offrd does not do the statutory filings themselves. Your CA still handles those. What changes is that the records your CA needs already exist, computed the same way every month, with nothing left on bharosa alone.

Seasonal Hiring Without a Kaagzi Kaam Pile

Sawmills and agri units in Betul do not staff flat through the year. Headcount rises when the season demands it and falls when it passes. Most HR software punishes this pattern with per-seat annual pricing. Offrd does not. Seasonal workers can be handled on pay per use at ₹99 per document, so a worker who is with you for three months costs you three months of paperwork, nothing more.

The record still stays permanent. Next season, when the same worker returns, their history is already in the system. Over a couple of years, you build the thing most small-town employers never have: a complete staff ka record that does not live in anyone's head.

Letters and Documents

Offer, joining, probation, confirmation, increment, separation, and experience letters from one screen. Each one consistent, dated, and stored.

Attendance via Atndnz

QR check-in on a phone, GPS location, and geofencing for site-based teams. Bundled free with every Offrd account.

Leave and Policies

Leave requests with one line manager approval, plus an HR policy generator for POSH, leave, IP, and conduct policies.

What It Costs a Betul Business

Start with 50 free credits on signup, no card required. After that, pay ₹99 per document when usage is occasional, or ₹50 per active employee per month when you want everything covered. A unit with 10 regular workers runs full payroll and documents for ₹500 a month. Setup takes under 2 minutes, and the Atndnz attendance app is included free either way.

Betul HR Questions, Answered

Can a contractor working around the Sarni power township use Offrd for PF-ready wage records?

Yes. Offrd builds payslips that show EPF at 12% employee and 12% employer, ESI at 3.25% employer and 0.75% employee, and PT as per state slabs. Every payslip stays saved against the employee record, so when a principal employer or auditor asks for wage proof, you export the records instead of reconstructing them from diaries.

Our Betul sawmill hires extra hands only in season. Do we pay for them all year?

No. You can work on pay per use at ₹99 per document and generate payslips only in the months people actually work. If your core team is steady, the subscription at ₹50 per active employee per month covers them, and seasonal workers ride on per-document pricing.

We have never issued a payslip in our Betul unit. How hard is the first month?

Easier than it sounds. Setup takes under 2 minutes, and you get 50 free credits on signup with no card needed. Add your employees, enter their salary details once, and the first payslips come out the same day. Most owners in small towns do this themselves without an HR person.

Does Offrd file EPF or ESI returns for Betul businesses?

No. Offrd prepares the payslips, wage records, and CSV exports that your CA or consultant needs to do the filings. The point is that when filing time comes, your numbers are already computed and consistent, so nobody spends a weekend rebuilding the month from memory.

Can Betul staff mark attendance without a biometric machine?

Yes. The Atndnz attendance app comes bundled free with Offrd. Staff check in by QR code on a phone, and GPS with geofencing confirms they are at the site, whether that is a sawmill gate, a shop, or a vendor location near the power township. No hardware to buy or maintain.
