Payroll & statutory compliance
One run. Every statutory number calculated, and every one traceable.
Payroll is where an HRMS either earns its keep or creates a second job. EZER calculates gross, deductions, employer contributions and every applicable statutory head in a single pass, from the attendance you already captured and against the salary structure you already configured.

Without a system
How this gets done today
Without a system, month-end is a chain of spreadsheets. Attendance comes off a biometric export, the salary sheet is built by hand, and EPF, ESIC, PT and TDS are each worked out in their own tab.
Every one of those handoffs is a place for a number to change. The register is reconciled twice because nobody quite trusts it the first time, and when an employee disputes a deduction there is no calculation to point at, only a cell.
What it does
Inside payroll & statutory compliance
01
A run you can reverse
Lock attendance, calculate, review the variance against last month, then release. Nothing is final until you release it, so a mistake found on the 29th is a re-run, not a correction cycle.
02
EPF, exactly as the act requires
Employee and employer contribution, the EPS split, admin and EDLI charges, and wage-ceiling handling for members above and below the limit. ECR-ready output.
03
ESIC with contribution-period rules
The wage ceiling, mid-period crossings and the rule that an employee who crosses mid-period stays covered to the end of it. All handled, rather than left to whoever remembers.
04
Professional Tax, state by state
PT slabs configured per state and applied by the employee’s work location, so a company operating in five states runs one payroll, not five.
05
LWF at the right frequency
Labour Welfare Fund varies by state in both rate and frequency: monthly, half-yearly or annual. Configured once per state registration.
06
TDS across both regimes
The new regime by default and the old one where an employee opts out, under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Declarations, verified proofs, a month-on-month projection that updates as the tax year progresses, and Form 130 (formerly Form 16) at the end of it.
07
Arrears that reach backwards
A retrospective increment recalculates the affected months and carries its statutory effect with it, rather than being dropped in as a lump sum that breaks the PF reconciliation.
08
Full & final in one settlement
Notice period, leave encashment, gratuity, loan recovery and pending claims resolved together, with the statutory deductions applied to the settlement itself.
A worked example
One payslip, with the arithmetic shown
A fictional employee in Pune on a monthly gross of ₹58,000. The figures tie out, which is the whole point of showing them.

- Employer cost, not an employee deduction
- ESIC does not apply: the gross is above the ₹21,000 wage ceiling.
- From 17 September 2026 the EPF wage ceiling is ₹25,000, so the same employee’s October payslip carries EPF on ₹25,000.
- Employer contributions are shown for transparency. They are a cost to the company, not a deduction from the employee.
Every number traces back
Every figure on a payslip can be opened to show what produced it: the attendance days counted, the salary structure in force that month, the statutory rate and ceiling applied, and the regime or slab used. That trail is the difference between a payroll that is correct and one that can be shown to be correct. Only the second kind survives an audit or a dispute.
On the demo call
What you will see working
A payslip that explains itself
Each deduction carries its basis. When an employee asks why PF changed, the payslip answers before HR has to.
What is due, and what is filed
Every registration you hold, with due dates and filing status. Nothing is due only in someone’s head.
Who it’s for
What each person gets out of it
- HR
- Month-end closes in hours. Statutory heads are calculated, not assembled.
- Finance
- Every figure traces to its calculation. The audit question has an answer on screen.
- Employees
- Payslips arrive in the portal with each deduction explained.
- Managers
- Cost by department and location, without asking HR for an extract.

Questions
About payroll & statutory compliance
Can you handle multiple states and multiple entities?
Yes. Professional Tax and LWF are configured per state registration and applied by the employee’s work location. Multiple legal entities each keep their own EPF, ESIC and PT registrations, their own letterhead and their own statutory calendar, while HR works in one system.
What happens to year-to-date figures when we migrate mid-year?
They come across with the migration. This matters more than most other data: without accurate year-to-date earnings and tax deducted, the TDS projection for the remaining months is wrong, and every employee sees a mismatch in their Form 130.
Is the calculation auditable?
Every component on a payslip can be opened to show the inputs it was derived from: the attendance days, the salary structure in force that month, the statutory rate applied and the ceiling logic used. That trail is what makes a payroll defensible in an audit rather than merely correct.
