FAQs — Payroll Outsourcing Chennai
Why is Tamil Nadu PT different from other states?
Tamil Nadu is the only major state that computes and files Professional Tax on a half-yearly basis rather than monthly. The slabs are also based on half-yearly salary totals. HRTailor's system automatically handles this unique TN PT structure.
Can HRTailor handle payroll for automotive factories in Chennai?
Yes, we manage factory payroll including shift-based overtime calculations per Tamil Nadu Factories Act, ESI/PF for production staff, contract worker payroll, and compliance with TN factory safety regulations.
Do Chennai IT companies get special payroll provisions?
Tamil Nadu provides working hour and night shift exemptions for IT/ITES companies. These must be correctly applied in payroll for overtime and shift allowance calculations.
