Stabilize Your 24/7 Operations. Automated Labour Compliance for Hotels, QSRs & F&B Chains.

In Hospitality, your staff is your product. But managing a high-volume, variable workforce across long hours is a constant compliance risk. A minor error in Minimum Wage calculation for a single chef or a lapse in maintaining the Shops & Establishment Act registers can quickly lead to heavy fines, union issues, or business closure.

The Hospitality Compliance Challenge

Hospitality businesses face intense compliance pressure across multiple fronts. State-specific Shops & Establishment Act rules vary widely, making it difficult to standardize weekly offs, working hours, and leave across locations. Frequent changes in minimum wage zones for waiters, cleaners, and security staff create constant payroll reconciliation issues. High attrition only adds to the burden—requiring nonstop EPF/ESIC enrollments, exits, and updates, where even a single missed step can lead to penalties and compliance notices.

The EPFDesk F&B Compliance Solution

We provide an integrated, state-specific compliance platform that automates attendance, accurately calculates minimum wages and overtime, and guarantees the security of your statutory filings across all your locations.

The Top 3 Compliance Liabilities We Eliminate for Hospitality

We manage the core legal issues that keep Owners, GMs, and HR Managers in the hospitality sector up at night.

Shops & Establishment Act (S&E)

Hospitality businesses operating across multiple states must maintain different statutory registers for attendance, leave, holidays, and working hours—each with its own format under the Shops & Establishment Act. Missing or outdated registers are among the most common and immediate audit failures. We provide centralized digital S&E register management, maintaining all required forms—such as Form A, Muster Roll, and Leave Registers—on a single cloud platform that is always inspection-ready for any local labour authority.

Minimum Wages & Overtime

Minimum Wages in the hospitality sector change frequently due to Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA) updates and differ across city zones (A, B, C) and skill levels. These constant changes make payroll accuracy difficult and expose businesses to underpayment penalties and back-wage claims. Our automated payroll engine updates instantly with every state-wise VDA revision, ensuring that all staff—across all locations—receive fully compliant Basic + DA wages, eliminating overtime miscalculations and wage-related compliance risks.

POSH & Workplace Safety

In the hospitality sector, high staff interaction, guest-facing roles, and frequent night shifts—especially for women—make POSH compliance non-negotiable. Every hotel, restaurant, and QSR outlet must maintain a formally constituted Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and conduct regular workforce sensitization. We deliver end-to-end POSH compliance, including ICC formation, mandatory annual training for all employees, and proper filing of the Annual Report—protecting your brand’s reputation and ensuring a safe, legally compliant workplace.
