Construction labour contractors move masons, helpers, bar-benders and operators between project sites, often across states, on daily muster. Rates differ by skill and state, and the principal employer, the builder, is on the hook for your compliance.
These are the roles this vertical staffs most, each on its own minimum-wage band. Open a role to see its wage across states.
Beyond PF, ESI and the contract labour (CLRA) rules, now in the OSH Code, 2020, construction is covered by the building and other construction workers (BOCW) provisions, which the OSH Code also absorbed, with the welfare cess and worker registration now under the Code on Social Security, 2020. Every skill band must be paid at least the notified minimum for the state and posting, and the builder audits the muster roll and wage register before releasing payment.
ZeniaHR checks every worker against the correct state rate for their skill and posting, runs PF, ESI, PT and LWF, maintains the CLRA registers, and invoices each project separately, so a multi-site construction payroll stays audit-ready for the principal employer. Onboarding, attendance, leave, employee self-service, ID cards and reports sit in one system, so your team stops stitching spreadsheets together.
Unlike a generic HRMS, ZeniaHR is built for one industry, yours. For a construction labour supply operation that means the workflows already understand a mason, helper, carpenter mix on different skill bands, per-client sites billed separately, and the minimum-wage revisions that hit every six months. You start free for your first 50 workers, then pay per worker as you grow, so the cost tracks your actual deployment rather than a fixed licence.
PF, ESI, minimum wages (now under the Code on Wages, 2019), the contract labour (CLRA) and BOCW rules (both now in the OSH Code, 2020) and the building workers' welfare cess (now under the Code on Social Security, 2020) all apply, depending on headcount and state.
Each trade is paid at its skill band, unskilled helper, semi-skilled, or skilled mason, carpenter and operator, at the notified state rate. ZeniaHR applies the right band per role.
