Job description

Careers — Payroll & Workforce Governance

Payroll Compliance Executive

Run statutory payroll compliance calendars and payroll control testing for our clients across multiple Indian states.

Salary band ₹4.2–6.0 LPA

Experience 2–4 years

Contract Full-time, permanent

The statutory calendar

Payroll deadlines do not negotiate. Provident fund, ESI, professional tax, labour welfare fund and TDS each land on fixed dates across several states, and a missed one turns into interest, penalty and an inspection conversation within a quarter. The calendar is the control, and in this role you own it.

Each of your clients gets one: what is due, to whom, by when, and which document proves it was done. You keep it current as headcount, states and statutes change.

What lands on your desk

• Maintain statutory compliance calendars covering provident fund, ESI, professional tax, labour welfare fund and TDS obligations across states.
• Verify payroll inputs, statutory deductions and remittance evidence against the agreed control checklist each cycle.
• Prepare and review returns and challans, and maintain the supporting documentation file for each filing.
• Investigate and document exceptions — missed deadlines, mismatched registers, incorrect deductions — and track remediation to closure.
• Support statutory inspections and client audits by assembling requested records.
• Advise client HR teams on record retention, joiner and leaver documentation, and segregation of payroll duties.
• 2–4 years in payroll processing, payroll compliance, HR operations or statutory compliance in India.
• Working knowledge of Indian statutory payroll obligations, including PF, ESI, PT and TDS on salaries.
• A bachelor’s degree in commerce, HR, business administration or a related field.
• Confident Excel skills and experience with at least one payroll or HRMS platform.
• Precision with numbers and deadlines — payroll compliance has fixed dates that do not move.

Nice to have: multi-state payroll exposure, experience supporting a statutory inspection, or a diploma in labour law.

Pay, leave and benefits

• ₹4.2–6.0 LPA depending on experience, reviewed annually.
• Hybrid working from Hyderabad, typically three days in office.
• Portfolio ownership rather than single-process work — you see the whole compliance cycle.
• Statutory benefits, provident fund, 12 days casual and sick leave, 18 days earned leave.
• Sponsored training on statutory updates and labour law changes.
