HR consulting & policy in Surat

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.

Manpower supply and contract staffing for textile and diamond units, PF and ESIC consulting as businesses formalise, compliance support for processing houses undergoing buyer audits, payroll for piece-rate and incentive-based workforces, and engineering recruitment for the Hazira industrial belt.

Yes, once the unit reaches 20 employees for PF and 10 for ESIC, regardless of piece-rate payment. Wages must be recorded per worker and contributions paid on them. Enforcement has tightened, and many units now use consultants to regularise coverage.

Common measures include return bonuses paid after Diwali and Holi, travel coordination with labour contractors from source states, hostel accommodation and formal employment with PF that rewards continuity. Staffing partners with a standing bench can bridge gaps during the return period.
