Data and accountability

Clear about who does what.

You approve each payroll before it is paid and provide accurate inputs. We prepare the calculations, records and filings. As the employer, your company keeps its legal responsibility under Indian law, and we set out each party’s role in writing before we start.

Salary and identity details are sensitive, so access is limited to the people who need it to run your payroll.
