Contract labour compliance software

Contract labour compliance software for licences, returns & registers

Contract labour compliance is where principal employers get penalised. ZeniaHR tracks CLRA licences and renewals, files the half-yearly and annual returns, generates the prescribed registers, and keeps each contractor's liability in plain view.

Why compliance teams switch

A lapsed licence or a missed return is a penalty waiting

The CLRA requires the contractor to hold a licence and the principal employer to be registered, with prescribed registers, half-yearly and annual returns, and joint liability if the contractor defaults. Miss one and the penalty lands on the principal employer. ZeniaHR runs the CLRA programme as a system, separate from, but linked to, the day-to-day contract labour operations and the broader statutory compliance hub.

📇

Licence & registration register

Every contractor licence and principal-employer registration, with validity and renewal alerts before anything lapses.

🗓️

Returns calendar & filing

Half-yearly and annual CLRA returns tracked on a calendar, generated from the underlying muster and wage data.

📑

Statutory registers

Muster roll, wage register, register of workmen and the other prescribed registers generated on demand.

⚖️

Principal-employer liability

A live view of each contractor's compliance so the principal employer's joint liability is never a surprise.

📂

Worker document vault

Contract-worker KYC, PF/ESI and documents held with expiry alerts. See documents.

🔗

Linked to operations

Compliance draws on the same muster and wage data as deployment and payroll, so records are never rebuilt by hand.

The CLRA suite

Compliance is one lane of the contract labour suite

Compliance runs the CLRA programme; management runs the operation; both share one worker record.

FAQ

Contract labour compliance questions, answered

What is contract labour compliance software?

It runs the CLRA compliance programme: tracking contractor licences and principal-employer registration, generating the prescribed statutory registers, filing half-yearly and annual returns, and monitoring principal-employer liability. ZeniaHR provides it, linked to live operations, and it is free for your first 100 workers.

How is it different from contract labour management software?

Management runs the day-to-day operation (deploy, muster, wages, billing). Compliance runs the CLRA programme around it (licences, returns, registers, liability). In ZeniaHR they share one worker record, so compliance is generated from real operations rather than re-keyed.

Does it track licence renewals?

Yes. Every contractor licence and principal-employer registration is held with its validity date, and ZeniaHR alerts you before it lapses.

Does it help the principal employer's liability?

Yes. The principal employer sees each contractor's compliance status, so a contractor's default does not silently become the principal employer's liability.

Does it generate the CLRA returns?

Yes. Half-yearly and annual returns are tracked on a calendar and generated from the underlying muster and wage data.

How much does it cost?

It is free for up to 100 workers. Paid plans start at Rs 25 per worker per month and fall to Rs 12 at scale on yearly billing. See the pricing page for the full rate card.
