We can help you get a new employee started in India fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 2 working days
‍
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the WS Group platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. WS Group has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Types of Leave

Statutory leave

By law, full-time workers in India are entitled to 15 days of holiday leave per year.

Pregnancy and maternity leave

Expecting mothers are entitled to six months of paid pregnancy leave (before the due date) and at least 26 weeks maternity leave (after childbirth) for the first two children. For mothers with more than three children, each new child results in an entitlement of 12 weeks of paid maternity leave.

Parental/paternal leave

The private sector does not have mandatory parental leave and any parental leave policies are decided on a per-company basis. Male Indian government employees get up to 15 days.

Other leave

Casual leave: provided for urgent and unexpected matters. Companies commonly have a limitation of three days of casual leave per month and a total of six per year. Lapses automatically by end of year if unused.
‍
Work related injury leave: intended for unforeseen personal circumstances for which an employee has to take time off immediately. Examples include making arrangements for the care of a sick family member or in the event of a death in the family.

Employment Termination

Termination process

Termination of the employment relationship can happen in the following ways:

Voluntary termination by the employee (resignation);
Retirement as per the employment contract;
Non-renewal of the employment contract or expiry;
Dismissal of the employee due to serious employee misconduct (f.ex. theft, fraud, etc.); or
Collective dismissal due to economic reasons (f.ex. bankruptcy, restructuring, etc.).

Notice period

For an employee that has worked for at least 3 months, a notice period of 30 days is required. No notice is required for termination for misconduct.

Probation periods

There is no legal stipulation for minimum and maximum probation periods. However, as a matter of trade practice, the probation period usually ranges from 2 to 6 months.
