Statutory compliance for IT and technology companies.
Your engineers are in Bengaluru, your designer works remotely and your contractor is on a train outside Pune. Value First runs payroll accurately and keeps compliance tight, so your people can stay focused on shipping.
Compliance challenges in it & technology.
Freelancers versus full-time employees
A 'temporary' contractor who has worked fixed hours, on your tools, under your manager for 14 months could be an employee in the eyes of the law. We review engagements using the right tests (control, integration, exclusivity, duration) and structure them correctly, before it becomes a notice or a dispute.
SEZ and STPI requirements
Units under SEZ or STPI schemes carry specific work-from-home, reporting and approval conditions. These are easy to miss when teams go hybrid. We track the conditions that apply to you so your records are ready for inspection.
Teams spread across states
Registrations, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund and Shops & Establishments rules change from state to state. A team in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Telangana means three rulebooks to follow every month.
Labour laws keep changing
'We did it this way last year' is no longer a safe policy, with the new Labour Codes and state-level rules taking shape, including for gig and platform workers. We monitor changes and tell you in plain language how they apply to you.
Payroll that never stands still
People join mid-month, get revised twice a year and change cities. Each change touches PF, ESIC, PT and TDS, and a payslip error is noticed fast by a tech workforce.
The people we support.
Software engineers and product teams
Want accurate payslips, timely reimbursements and no drama around variable pay.
Designers and creatives
Often work project to project, with fluid roles and engagement types.
Remote developers
Work across time zones and expect smooth, on-time payment.
Freelancers and gig workers
Sit outside the traditional employment model but carry real legal and tax implications.
Multi-location teams
Span cities and states with different statutory rules.

ExplorePayroll, PF, ESIC, PT and TDS without the headaches
A tech payroll is rarely static. People join mid-month, get revised twice a year and change cities. Each change affects your statutory obligations. Here's how we keep up.
- Provident Fund (PF)
UAN activation, wage-ceiling decisions, joiner and exit processing and monthly ECR filing. We advise on salary components with PF implications in mind, so there are no surprises at audit.
- ESIC
Support, operations and junior roles may fall under ESIC eligibility after revisions. We monitor this as pay changes.
- Professional Tax (PT)
Slabs, rates and filing frequencies differ by state. Whether your team spans Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana or beyond, we apply the right rules to every employee, every month.
- TDS on salary
Monthly tax on projected income, declaration and proof handling and Form 16. Large variable pay is planned through the year so employees aren't hit with a surprise.
- Revisions and relocations
Mid-year hikes, promotions and relocations are recalculated without breaking your compliance trail.
Contractors, freelancers and vendors: clarity before conflict
External talent is a strength for tech companies, but it creates risk if it isn't structured well.
- Worker classification
Misclassification can lead to back-dated liabilities, penalties and employee claims. We assess each engagement, advise on the right model (employee, consultant or vendor) and document the reasoning.
- Milestone and invoice-based payments
Clear payment schedules tied to milestones or deliverables, invoice checks, the right TDS deductions and on-time disbursement.
- Vendor compliance checks
For staffing partners and IT service vendors, we verify PF, ESIC and registrations so their lapses aren't your liability.
Multi-State Labour Compliance Guide for Growing Businesses in India
A multi-state business is subject to central, State and local labour law at once, and a registration in one State has no effect in another. This guide shows where States differ and how to run a risk-weighted compliance model.
No. We run a parallel cycle before go-live, so the numbers are checked against your current process and your team is paid on time.
Both. We help classify engagements, process milestone-based payments and manage TDS and vendor compliance, so external talent is handled as carefully as your core team.
Yes. We manage PF, ESIC, PT and other state-specific obligations across locations, with one tracker and one point of contact.
Yes. Opening a new office or hiring your first person in a new state, we handle the registrations and set up the right filings from day one, so expansion doesn't open new compliance gaps.
Security is built into how we work: role-based access, encrypted storage and transfer, audit trails and strict confidentiality commitments.
