Hiring in India FAQ

Get answers to common regulatory, payroll, contract, and operational inquiries about EOR services in India.

1. What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on your behalf in another country (like India), taking care of payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance, while you retain daily operational management.

2. How does hiring in India work with PixWorkX?

PixWorkX acts as your local legal employer in India. We onboard your chosen candidates, run their monthly payroll in local currency (INR), manage all statutory benefits (PF, Gratuity, Insurance), and ensure full legal compliance, so you don't have to set up a local Indian entity.

3. Do I need to set up a legal entity in India to hire employees?

No. That is the core benefit of PixWorkX. You can hire, pay, and manage full-time Indian talent legally without setting up a subsidiary, registering for local taxes, or opening Indian bank accounts.

4. What is the typical onboarding timeline for an employee in India?

We can typically onboard and finalize contracts for an employee in India within 48 to 72 hours, provided all required candidate documents (education, identity, past employment) are submitted.

5. How does payroll processing and salary payment work?

Each month, we send you a single consolidated invoice in your preferred currency (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.). Once funded, we convert the funds, process local payroll, and disburse salaries in Indian Rupees (INR) directly to employee bank accounts, along with payslips.

6. What taxes and statutory contributions are mandatory in India?

Mandatory contributions include the Employee Provident Fund (EPF), Employee State Insurance (ESI) for eligible salary bands, Gratuity (after 5 years of service), and Professional Tax (PT). PixWorkX manages all of these filings monthly.

7. What is Provident Fund (PF) and how is it managed?

EPF is a mandatory retirement savings scheme where both the employer and employee contribute 12% of the basic salary. PixWorkX registers each employee under our corporate EPF account and deposits these contributions monthly.

8. How does PixWorkX ensure compliance with local Indian labor laws?

We maintain a dedicated team of Indian employment attorneys and payroll experts who continuously track legislative changes. All HR templates, contracts, and filings are kept up to date with central and state codes.

9. Can I offer employee benefits like health insurance through PixWorkX?

Yes. PixWorkX has a partner network that offers premium group health insurance, accident insurance, and wellness benefits packages. You can choose the level of coverage you want to provide to your Indian team.

10. Who retains operational control and IP ownership of the hired employees?

You do. Our master services agreement explicitly transfers all intellectual property, work products, and copyright created by the employees directly to your company automatically.

11. How are employee contracts structured?

Employee contracts are dual-party agreements structured under local Indian labor law. They detail the job description, working hours, benefits, notice periods, intellectual property clauses, and termination terms as agreed by you.

12. What are the standard working hours and holidays in India?

Standard working hours are 40-48 hours per week (usually 5 days). India observes national holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti) plus state-specific festival holidays. We align public holiday calendars with your preference while staying legally compliant.

13. How does termination and severance work in India?

Termination in India is subject to specific notice periods (typically 30 to 90 days) and severance requirements. PixWorkX guides you through the legal process, helps structure termination agreements, and calculates final settlements to prevent dispute risks.

14. What industries do you specialize in hiring for?

You can hire for almost any role, including Software Engineering, AI/ML Research, Healthcare, Cybersecurity, Creative Design, Consulting, Sales, Customer Support, and Finance.

15. Is there a minimum number of employees I must hire?

No. You can hire as few as one employee. PixWorkX is built to scale with you, whether you are hiring a single developer or building a team of hundreds.

16. How do you handle data privacy and security (e.g. GDPR)?

We maintain strict confidentiality protocols. Employees sign comprehensive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that bind them to your company's security policies. Our operations comply with GDPR and local data protection standards.

17. What are the operating costs and how is PixWorkX pricing structured?

We charge a flat monthly administration fee per employee. There are no hidden fees, exchange rate markups, or setup charges. You only pay for the employee's total gross salary, statutory benefits, and our flat fee.

18. Can we transition employees from PixWorkX EOR to our own entity later?

Yes. If you decide to establish your own legal entity in India later, we facilitate a smooth transfer of employees, employment history, and benefits to your new entity without any operational disruptions.

19. Do you assist with background checks for Indian hires?

Yes. We partner with leading background screening agencies in India to perform education, address, criminal record, and past employment verification checks upon request.

20. What support is available for the employees we hire in India?

We provide a dedicated HR support desk for your employees. They can raise queries regarding their payroll, tax declarations, insurance claims, payslips, and workplace policies, which are resolved promptly by our local team.
