HR Outsourcing
Joining formalities, employment letters, attendance, leave and exits, run to a standard that suits both a Salt Lake tech team and a Burrabazar trading floor.
HRTailor runs HR and payroll for Kolkata startups and SMEs with 5 to 100 employees. A dedicated HR Manager and a small HR team handle your payroll, PF, ESIC, West Bengal Professional Tax, onboarding and exits for teams across Kolkata, Salt Lake, New Town and Howrah, fully online, from ₹10,000 a month.
HR outsourcing means a specialist firm runs your people processes for a fixed monthly fee: payroll, statutory filings, onboarding, employee records, policies and exits. For a Kolkata company with 5 to 100 employees, it replaces a full-time HR hire with a dedicated HR Manager, a small team that covers leave and month-end, and a Cloud HRMS, matching the cost to the actual workload.
Kolkata businesses watch fixed costs closely. HR work is real but uneven across the month, and rarely enough to justify a full salary plus software. A monthly plan matches the cost to the work.
Trading and manufacturing houses around Burrabazar and Dalhousie are formalising records for banks, tenders and handovers. IT firms in Salt Lake Sector V and New Town want modern HR from day one. Both need reliable people paperwork.
Professional Tax, half-yearly Labour Welfare Fund, shop and establishment registration and a labour culture where documents matter in a dispute. Casual HR shows up as notices, interest and stalled negotiations.
Four pieces that together replace an HR department:
Joining formalities, employment letters, attendance, leave and exits, run to a standard that suits both a Salt Lake tech team and a Burrabazar trading floor.
Monthly payroll with West Bengal deductions applied correctly, salary registers kept, payslips through self-service and annual TDS certificates ready at year end.
A named HR professional who learns your business, advises on policies and handles sensitive conversations such as grievances, warnings and separations.
Attendance, leave, documents and payslips in one system. Often the first HR software a long-established Kolkata firm has used, set up so the switch is painless.
HRTailor runs end-to-end payroll for Kolkata companies with 5 to 100 employees, from salary processing and payslips to West Bengal Professional Tax, PF and ESIC filings and TDS. Every payroll cycle is processed by the 7th of the month.
Your HR Manager collects attendance, leave, joiners, exits and changes from the HRMS.
Salaries are calculated with PF, ESIC, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund and TDS applied per employee.
You review one payroll summary. Nothing is paid without your sign-off.
We prepare the bank transfer file and payslips reach employees through the HRMS.
PF, ESIC, Professional Tax and TDS returns are filed on time and challans saved for you.
HRTailor plans start at ₹10,000 a month plus GST for a small team, and the price grows with headcount and scope. There are no hidden fees. Most Kolkata SMEs compare three options before they decide:
| In-house HR executive | Payroll software only | HRTailor (managed HR) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who runs payroll and filings | One employee | You or your accountant | A dedicated HR Manager and team |
| West Bengal PT, LWF and shop registration | Depends on the person's experience | Calculated, but you file and track | Tracked, filed and updated for you |
| Onboarding, policies, employee queries and exits | Yes | No | Yes |
| Cover during leave or resignation | No | Not applicable | Yes, the team covers |
| Monthly cost | A full salary plus PF, ESIC and a seat | Per-employee licence, plus your time | From ₹10,000 a month + GST |

Competitive salary structures, notice-period discipline and modern leave policies for Sector V services firms and New Town startups holding on to engineers courted by other metros.
Trading & Distribution
Incentive-linked payroll, depot and field-staff records, and clean employment documents for wholesale houses and Eastern India distributors run from Burrabazar and beyond.
Engineering & Manufacturing
Contract labour paperwork, shift payroll and statutory registers for the Howrah-side workshops and fabrication units that still form Bengal's industrial spine.
