HR consulting & policy in Ahmedabad

A compliant employee handbook covering leave, conduct, POSH, IT usage, travel and exit policies typically costs ₹40,000 to ₹2 lakh depending on customisation, number of locations and whether Hindi or regional-language versions are needed. Template packs cost far less but need adaptation.

A POSH policy and Internal Committee are mandatory at 10 or more employees. Leave rules must meet the state Shops and Establishments Act. Standing orders apply at 100 workmen (50 in some states) in industrial establishments. Other policies are good practice rather than statutory.

For a company of 100 to 500 employees, job evaluation, market benchmarking and band design usually take six to ten weeks, followed by a communication and transition phase. Benchmarking data sources and the number of unique roles are the main drivers of time.

Recruitment and placement for pharma, engineering and sales roles, contract and blue-collar staffing for plants in Sanand, Vatva and Naroda, PF and ESIC consulting for mid-sized manufacturers, payroll outsourcing for family businesses, and IT recruitment for the SG Highway technology corridor.

Sanand for automotive and electronics, Vatva and Naroda for chemicals and engineering, Changodar and Bavla for pharma and engineering, Kalol and Kadi for textiles and industrial units, and GIFT City in Gandhinagar for banking, insurance and capital markets roles.
