Question 1 of 9

Which best describes your company's current HR situation?

Pick the one that feels most accurate right now — this shapes your entire audit result.

We have never had a proper HR setup

HR has always been handled informally — no policies, no HRMS, no dedicated person. The founder or admin deals with it as it comes up.

We've outgrown our current setup

What worked at 5 people doesn't work at 20. Patching things — WhatsApp for queries, spreadsheets for payroll, no formal processes.

Our HR person left and we haven't replaced them

We had someone handling HR — they moved on. The work has fallen back on the founder or no one.

We want to professionalise before a trigger event

A funding round, new leadership, investor due diligence, or expansion is coming — we need clean documented HR before it happens.

We have some HR in place but it's not working well

There's a person or system — but compliance is unclear, processes are inconsistent, things still fall through the cracks.

Question 2 of 9

How many full-time employees does your company currently have?

Count only permanent employees — not contractors, consultants, or interns.

Fewer than 5

Very early stage — mostly founding team

5 to 15

16 to 30

31 to 50

More than 50

We'll discuss the right approach with you on a call

Question 3 of 9

Which best describes your company's primary sector or setup?

Pick the one that fits most closely. This shapes the compliance guidance in your audit result.

Tech / SaaS / product company

Software, apps, digital products — including remote-first and distributed teams

Professional services

Legal, CA / accounting, consulting, architecture, design studio, marketing agency

Healthcare / diagnostics / wellness

Clinics, hospitals, diagnostic labs, pharmacy chains, wellness centres

Retail / D2C / e-commerce

Physical stores, online brands, consumer products, logistics

Manufacturing / trading / distribution

Factory, production unit, import-export, wholesale or distribution company

Other

My company doesn't fit neatly into the above categories

Question 4 of 9

Which of these does your company currently have in place?

Select all that apply. Be honest — this directly shapes the gaps we identify for you.

Employee handbook / HR policy

Proper offer letter template

HRMS or HR software in use

Formal appraisal process

Documented exit / FnF process

PF / ESI compliance tracked

Payslips issued every month

NDA / confidentiality agreements signed

Formal leave policy communicated

Documented PIP / disciplinary process

None of the above

Question 5 of 9

How confident are you about your statutory compliance?

This covers PF, ESI, Professional Tax, LWF — obligations that vary by headcount and state.

Fully confident — we're compliant and it's tracked

Someone owns this, filings are current, and we have no open issues

Mostly confident — but some areas are unclear

We do the basics but I wouldn't say everything is covered

Somewhat worried — we probably have gaps

I suspect non-compliance in some areas but haven't formally checked

Compliance is a blind spot — we've never managed it formally

No one owns statutory compliance and we've never audited it

Question 6 of 9

What is your biggest HR challenge right now?

Select all that apply — you can pick more than one.

HR admin is taking too much of my time

Offer letters, payroll queries, leave requests, compliance — all land on me

I'm worried about compliance exposure

PF notices, labour audits, incorrect filings — the risk keeps me up at night

Hiring is slow or we keep getting it wrong

No clear recruitment process, weak JDs, candidates drop off mid-process

Retention is a problem and team culture is suffering

People are leaving, morale is unclear, there's no HR foundation to build on

Exits are messy and occasionally disputed

No documented FnF process, uncomfortable conversations, occasional legal exposure

We need to professionalise before our next growth phase

Investor due diligence, a new round of hiring, or expansion is on the horizon

Question 7 of 9

Who is currently handling HR at your company?

This helps us understand how much risk your current setup carries.

The founder / I do it myself

Offer letters, exits, salary queries — all come directly to me

An admin or office manager

Someone who handles HR tasks alongside many other responsibilities

A junior HR executive or HR generalist

We have someone in HR but they lack depth in compliance or systems

Nobody formally — it just happens

No clear ownership; HR gets addressed only when something comes up

Our CA / accountant handles compliance parts

PF and ESI are outsourced but day-to-day HR operations are informal

Question 8 of 9

What monthly budget would you consider for dedicated HR support?

This helps us confirm the best fit. All PlugHR plans are on a 12-month contract with a 3-month lock-in period.

Under ₹50,000 / month

Still evaluating whether the investment makes sense right now
