Here's a pattern we keep seeing in companies between 50 and 200 employees. Finance has some structure. HR? It's an admin person, a payroll spreadsheet, and policies that live in the founder's head. No employee handbook. No documented leave policy. POSH compliance is a checkbox filed and forgotten.

This works until it doesn't. A compliance red flag. A labour dispute. An offer letter that contradicts verbal commitments because nobody standardised the template.

01
Companies —"We don't even have an employee handbook."

HR Governance & Advisory

We build the policy infrastructure that growing companies need. Not a binder that sits on a shelf. Working frameworks that your managers can actually use.

  • HR policy framework
  • Leave & attendance policies
  • POSH compliance
  • Code of conduct
  • Employment structure advisory
  • CTC design, roles & grades
  • HR audits & compliance readiness
HR governance and policy documentation
02
Compliance and statutory oversight discussion
Companies —"We got an ESI notice last week. Nobody saw it coming."

Compliance & Statutory Oversight

Labour law compliance in India involves multiple central and state-level requirements. We track them so your team doesn't have to.

  • PF & ESI compliance
  • Shops & Establishments Act
  • Professional Tax
  • Compliance calendar & risk alerts
  • Payroll review & exception checks
03
Companies —"Our onboarding depends on who's handling it that day."

Process Design & Employee Lifecycle

From offer letter to exit interview, every touchpoint should be consistent and documented. We design the processes and templates so people management doesn't become the next fire to fight.

  • Employee lifecycle SOPs
  • Offer & appointment letter templates
  • Employee handbook creation
  • Performance management frameworks
  • Onboarding & exit processes
  • HR documentation & controls

04
Payroll operations and compliance
Companies —"Payroll runs every month, but nobody actually owns it."

Payroll Operations & Compliance

Payroll is operationally critical and strategically underserved in most businesses. It touches every employee, every month — and a single error erodes trust fast. We run payroll end-to-end: structured, compliant, and built to scale with your headcount.

  • End-to-end payroll operations
  • Payroll governance & controls
  • Compliance audits & readiness
  • Payroll compliance filings
  • Benefits & FBP administration
  • Payroll reporting & analytics
  • Employee payroll helpdesk
People operations and workplace support

HR isn't a side offering.

At mySmartVFO, HR is a core part of how we help businesses operate with the discipline they need to scale. Led by Nalini NS, the HR practice brings the same rigour and ownership mindset that defines our finance work.
