HR & labour compliance for Chandigarh businesses — on autopilot
Labour compliance for a Chandigarh employer is a stack: the Code on Wages 2019 basic-pay floor, PF and ESIC, Shops & Establishments registration, leave policy, statutory bonus and clean documentation for inspections.
FastLegal encodes those rules into the payroll itself — the 50% basic floor is enforced in salary structures, statutory deductions compute automatically, HR letters generate from templates, and an append-only audit log records every change. Chandigarh (UT) levies no Professional Tax, so payslips carry no PT deduction.

Frequently asked questions
Which labour laws apply to my Chandigarh business?
At minimum: the Code on Wages 2019, EPF Act (20+ employees), ESIC (10+ employees under the wage ceiling), Chandigarh Shops & Establishments registration. Sector-specific rules (Factories Act, contract labour) may also apply.
What is the Code on Wages 50% rule?
Basic pay (plus DA) must be at least 50% of total remuneration. Structures that stuff CTC into allowances to shrink PF are non-compliant — FastLegal auto-bumps basic to the floor at run time.
Do you provide compliance documentation for audits in Chandigarh?
Every payroll artefact — payslips, registers, PF/ESIC filings, TDS workings and the audit log — is exportable, giving inspectors a clean paper trail.
Is the Professional Tax rule for Chandigarh handled?
Chandigarh (UT) levies no Professional Tax, so payslips carry no PT deduction.
