Off-role employment means workers deployed at your business are legally employed by a third-party service provider, which handles their payroll and statutory compliance, while they work under your day-to-day supervision.

What is the difference between on-role and off-role employees?

On-role employees are directly on the company's own payroll, while off-role employees are on a service provider's payroll and deployed to the company, giving the business flexibility and reduced compliance burden.

Who handles PF and ESI for off-role employees?

The service provider, as the legal employer, manages provident fund, employee state insurance, professional tax and other statutory contributions for off-role employees, keeping the client business compliant.

Why do businesses use off-role staffing?

Businesses use off-role staffing to scale teams flexibly, enter new locations quickly, manage project or seasonal workloads, and offload payroll and labour-law compliance to a specialist provider.
