When handling statutory compliance such as PF, ESI, and TDS through GreytHR, a few challenges initially surfaced — primarily around setup accuracy, data mapping, and deadline adherence.
Challenges Faced:
- Initial Configuration:
Setting up compliance parameters for multiple entities and ensuring correct organization codes for PF, ESI, and tax deduction required precision. - Data Validation:
Minor discrepancies in employee master data (like missing UAN or PAN) caused delays in generating accurate returns or challans. - Regulatory Updates:
Frequent statutory changes by EPFO, ESIC, or Income Tax departments meant that our internal understanding needed to stay in sync with the latest rules. - Error Handling in File Generation:
During early stages, a few errors appeared while generating ECR or ESIC XML files due to incomplete employee records.
Steps Taken to Resolve:
- One-Time Master Data Cleanup:
Conducted a comprehensive review of employee statutory fields (UAN, PAN, DOB, etc.) and standardized data across all branches. - GreytHR Statutory Setup Review:
Worked with the GreytHR support and implementation team to cross-check PF/ESI configuration, deduction formulas, and mapping under the compliance settings. - Automated Updates & Alerts:
Leveraged GreytHR’s built-in statutory updates and auto-alerts to stay current with regulation changes and filing deadlines. - Monthly Compliance Calendar:
Created a recurring compliance calendar within GreytHR to ensure timely submission of PF, ESI, and TDS returns. - Validation Reports:
Used GreytHR’s statutory validation reports before generating challans — reducing file rejection and manual correction time.
