02 · CLRA principal-employer tracking

Contract worker obligations without the audit panic.

Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act 1970: principal employers (you) inherit liability for PF/ESI when the contractor fails to deposit. EmployeeSight tracks each contractor’s deposit status alongside permanent employees and alerts you before the 15th-of-month deadline if a contractor is delinquent.

05 · Annual fiscal-year transitions

April 1 doesn’t mean a weekend in the office.

Each Indian fiscal year brings rate changes (PF wage ceiling revisions, PT slab updates per state, ESI threshold changes, TDS regime tweaks). EmployeeSight ships the rate changes in the platform before the effective date — your team doesn’t manage the rate tables. The April 1 cycle just works.

Historical rates preserved for retro runs

Compliance

Questions teams ask before the first audit.

Which Indian statutory regimes does EmployeeSight cover?

Eight payroll regimes: EPF (Act 1952), ESI (Act 1948), Professional Tax across 28 state regimes, TDS under IT Act §192, Form 16, Gratuity (PGA 1972), Bonus Act 1965, and Factories Act §59 overtime. On the data side: DPDP Act 2023 and IT Rules 2011 (SPDI), with CLRA principal-employer tracking for contract workers.

Does it handle multi-state Professional Tax?

Yes. All 28 state PT regimes are built in; each employee pays the slab matching their work-state, derived from the office they’re tagged to. State-wise deposit summaries generate monthly (or half-yearly where the state requires it, like Tamil Nadu).

Is there an audit trail?

Yes. Every admin action is logged, and statutory registers export on demand: Form A–D wage and attendance registers, Factories Act Form IV, CLRA Forms V and VI, and state Shops & Establishments Act registers pre-populated from live data — inspector-ready as PDF or CSV.

Does compliance cost extra?

No. Compliance is the default in every plan — ₹299 per employee per month for EmployeeSight HR, ₹499 for the full platform. No implementation tier, no per-statute add-on, and statutory rate changes ship before each fiscal year’s effective date.
