The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
Salary structuring
Payoneer WFM’s EOR in India helps you structure salaries with the right balance of basic pay (typically 40–50% of CTC), allowances such as HRA and LTA, and mandatory contributions to ESI and PF.
Taxes
We help companies manage all applicable tax deductions, including TDS (under old and new tax regimes), employer-side PF contributions, state labor taxes, and corporate taxes (25–30% for Indian companies & 40% for foreign entities).
Payouts
Employees are paid in INR with payslips that are generated automatically. Payroll runs on schedule, factoring in local holidays and statutory deadlines.
Provident fund & schemes
We manage filings, monthly contributions, and compliance. Like Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) or EPF, which is mandatory for companies with 20+ employees, with a 12% employer share, based on either actual basic pay or a fixed ₹15,000 per month.
Employee State Insurance (ESI)
We help companies manage all applicable tax deductions, including TDS (under old and new tax regimes), employer-side PF contributions, state labor taxes, and corporate taxes (25–30% for Indian companies & 40% for foreign entities).
Gratuity
Employees with 5+ years of service are entitled to gratuity, calculated using their last drawn salary and length of employment. Paid at resignation, retirement, or termination. Payoneer WFM’s EOR service helps track tenure and processes payments accurately.
Central + State regulations
You’re not just complying with one law, you’re navigating both national and local mandates. We help you meet both without missing a beat.
Key labor laws
Stay compliant with the latest reforms like the Labour Code on Wages (2019), which governs wage rates, working hours, and employment conditions.
Audit-ready records
We keep your employment data organized and aligned with government expectations, so you’re ready for reviews or audits.
Annual leaves
India doesn’t have a uniform national rule; leave policies vary by state. Most regions mandate at least 15 days of annual leave per completed year of service. We help simplify them for you.
Sick leave
While specifics can vary, paid sick leave is standard across many Indian states, typically at one day per month of service. We help you track these easily.
Maternity leave
Indian law grants 26 weeks of paid maternity leave, with restrictions on how many weeks can be used pre-birth. We manage this in compliance with the Maternity Benefit Act, so your team members are supported.
Notice periods & documentation
Indian labor law typically requires a 30-day written notice or equivalent pay in lieu. Termination must comply with the Shops and Establishments Act of the relevant state. We’ll help log every step of the process so it is all low-friction.
Severance & compensation
Employees who’ve served a year or more are entitled to 15 days’ average pay per year of service, unless termination is for misconduct. We help you calculate the exact dues and ensure proper closure.
Freelancer & contractor offboarding
Governed by India’s Contract Act, breaches can trigger compensation claims. We help you manage clean exits so you face minimal legal hassles.
