Trusted by finance & HR teams
Labour Code Compliance
India's new labour codes rewrote payroll. MAVRO rewrote itself first.
Four labour codes replaced 29 legacy laws — changing how wages are calculated, exits are settled, and contributions are filed. MAVRO Payroll is engineered around the new codes, not retrofitted to them.
We map your organisation's CTC structures against the new wage definition — grade by grade.
The 50% wage rule — enforced at structure level
Basic pay, DA and retaining allowance are locked at a minimum of 50% of total remuneration. If allowances breach the ceiling, MAVRO adds the excess back to the wage base automatically — for PF, gratuity, bonus and leave encashment. No manual recomputation. No under-contribution risk.
48-hour full & final settlement
On any exit — resignation, retrenchment, retirement or dismissal — MAVRO computes salary, notice pay, leave encashment and statutory dues, and clears the payout within two working days. Every step timestamped for audit.
Unified wage definition
One wage base, one calculation engine across PF, ESI, gratuity and bonus. The definitional confusion between the old EPF Act, Gratuity Act and Bonus Act is gone in the codes — and gone in MAVRO.
Fixed-term gratuity — from day one
Fixed-term staff earn gratuity without the 5-year rule. MAVRO tracks their tenure separately and computes pro-rata payouts automatically at exit.
7th-of-the-month wage payment
Payroll cycles are pre-configured to close and disburse by the statutory deadline, with alerts the moment any approval is stuck.
Gig & platform worker contributions
For aggregator businesses, MAVRO computes the 1–2% turnover contribution to the Social Security Fund and stays updated as the Ministry notifies specific rates.
Retrenchment re-skilling fund
15 days of last-drawn wages routed to the Worker Re-skilling Fund within the 10-day window — computed and disbursed inside the workflow, not on a side spreadsheet.
Mandatory appointment letters
Every hire gets a compliant appointment letter, templated per state, generated at onboarding — now required across every sector.
Multi-state rule tracking
Each state notifies its own operational rules. MAVRO updates forms, thresholds and inspection formats for every state your workforce sits in — without you filing a ticket.

The comparison
Old payroll vs. MAVRO Payroll under India's new labour codes
Most legacy Indian payroll systems handle the new codes through manual configuration and patches. MAVRO is built around them at the data-model level — compliance is the default, not an add-on.

FAQ
Payroll that is New Labour Law Compliant
The new labour codes, implementation, integrations. Answered straight.
Under the Code on Wages, basic pay, dearness allowance and retaining allowance must together be at least 50% of an employee's total remuneration. If allowances exceed 50% of CTC, the excess is added back to the wage base, which raises PF, gratuity, bonus and leave encashment calculations. MAVRO enforces this at the salary-structure level automatically.
All four labour codes, the Code on Wages 2019, Code on Social Security 2020, Industrial Relations Code 2020 and OSH & Working Conditions Code 2020, came into force on 21 November 2025. The Central Rules were finalised on 8 May 2026, and individual states are now notifying their own operational rules in waves.
Yes. The moment an exit is triggered, whether resignation, retrenchment, retirement or dismissal, MAVRO computes salary, notice pay, leave encashment and statutory dues in one workflow and clears the payout within two working days, as the Code on Wages requires. Every step is timestamped for audit.
Yes. For aggregator and platform businesses, MAVRO computes the 1–2% of turnover contribution to the Social Security Fund introduced by the Code on Social Security, and updates automatically as the Ministry notifies specific rates and rules for gig and platform workers.
MAVRO has native connectors for SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, Oracle Fusion, Tally Prime, Zoho Books and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, posting salary journals, cost-centre allocations and GL entries automatically. For anything else, documented REST APIs cover every payroll object.
Under 30 days for most organisations: structure audit (days 1–5), data migration (6–12), configuration (13–18), a full parallel run against your current system (19–26), and go-live (27–30). A parallel month proves the numbers match to the rupee before anyone switches.
Yes. Labour is a concurrent subject, so each state notifies its own rules under the codes. MAVRO's compliance layer tracks notifications across all 36 states and union territories and updates forms, thresholds, registers and inspection formats for every state your workforce sits in, without support tickets.
That's exactly who it's built for. MAVRO's sweet spot is organisations of 100 to 5,000 employees: large enough that spreadsheet payroll is a risk, structured enough to need multi-entity, multi-state handling, without the cost and timeline of a global enterprise suite.
During the structure audit, MAVRO models the PF and gratuity liability delta for every grade before you commit to a restructure, so finance sees the monthly cost impact in advance. After go-live, the excess add-back is computed automatically each cycle, so contributions are always on the correct wage base.
Yes, through employee self-service on web and mobile. Employees download payslips and Form 16, submit tax declarations and investment proofs, apply for loans and leave, and track exit dues themselves. Most rollouts see HR ticket volume drop by 60–70%.
