A CAREFUL CHECK

Before you rely on it

Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Check the Shops and Establishments rules of the state, any standing orders, and how PF, ESI, gratuity and bonus apply to this employee and salary. Stamp duty on employment documents differs by state, so confirm whether a stamp is needed before you approve.
