Everything you need to know to hire compliantly in India

Recent Developments in India

We understand the challenges of keeping up with India's evolving labour laws and compliance requirements. At Dimondra, we actively track regulatory changes so you can stay focused on growing your workforce, without compliance concerns.

Here are the key legislative updates impacting employment in India:

Employer of Record in India

Expanding into India doesn't have to mean setting up a legal entity, a process that can be expensive, time-consuming, and complex.
At Dimondra, we act as your Employer of Record (EOR) in India, enabling you to legally and efficiently hire employees without establishing a local company. We take care of all compliance, payroll, HR administration, and local labour law obligations — so you can focus on growing your business.

Hiring through an EoR gives you the flexibility to build your team in India while we handle the complexities behind the scenes.

Employment Contracts in India

Hiring in India requires clear, compliant, and legally enforceable employment contracts. At Dimondra, we help you create contracts that align with Indian labour laws and protect your business.

We cover key areas such as:

  • Contract terms and conditions
  • Fixed-term contracts and extensions
  • Remote work regulations
  • Working hours and overtime rules

Payroll & Benefits in India

Employee compensation in India comes with specific rules and cultural expectations. To stay compliant and keep your workforce motivated, you need to understand minimum wages, statutory benefits, and customary pay practices.

Key areas include:

  • Minimum wage requirement
  • Mandatory statutory benefits like Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance
  • Common allowances and bonuses expected by employees

At Dimondra, we help you navigate payroll processing and benefits administration, so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.

Leave and Time Off in India

Understanding your employees' leave entitlements is essential to ensure compliance and avoid legal risks. In India, several types of paid time off are protected by law and custom.

We cover key areas such as:

  • Statutory leave benefits
  • Maternity, paternity, and parental leave
  • Public holidays
  • Paid holidays and other leave types

At Dimondra, we help you manage leave policies effectively and compliantly.

Employee Protections in India

Employees in India benefit from important legal protections that employers must understand and respect. Staying informed helps you build a fair and compliant workplace.

We cover key areas such as:

  • Whistleblower protections
  • Data privacy regulations
  • Equal treatment for temporary and agency workers
  • Anti-discrimination laws
  • Pay equity legislation

At Dimondra, we guide you through India's employee protection laws to reduce risk and promote a positive work environment.

End of Employment in India

When an employee leaves your organisation, managing the offboarding process carefully is crucial to protect your business from legal risks.

We cover important topics including:

  • Notice periods
  • Termination rules and procedures
  • Post-termination restraints (such as non-compete clauses)
  • Transfers of undertakings

At Dimondra, we help you navigate India’s offboarding requirements smoothly and compliantly.
