FAQ

HR — frequently asked

Starter is designed for exactly this. Offer letter, NDA, basic handbook, leave policy, onboarding checklist — the five documents you'll regret not having at hire #4.

Yes — every handbook we ship references the Indian Contract Act, Shops & Establishment (state-specific), POSH Act 2013, Maternity Benefit, and the IT Rules where relevant. We update the templates whenever there's a statutory change.

At Professional tier, POSH committee setup is a valid choice for the included implementation. At Enterprise, POSH is one of up to three implementations we cover alongside PF, ESI, Gratuity, or Shops & Establishment.

The deliverables are designed to be CA-handoff ready. Comp structures, payroll templates, and registration docs are formatted the way Indian CAs expect.

ESOP templates are included at Professional. Custom ESOP scheme doc with comp philosophy is an Enterprise deliverable.
