Yes. PF (EPF, EPS, EDLI and admin), ESI, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, gratuity provision and income tax (TDS under both regimes) are calculated every month from dated rate tables.
Can I pay daily-wage and piece-rate workers?

Can staff download payslips themselves?
Yes. Payslips appear in the staff app as soon as payroll is locked, with an on-screen breakdown and a PDF they can share.
