Built on the NeevHR platform

Variable pay does not run in a silo

Like every module, it sits on one effective-dated employee record, with India's statutory rules, configuration and governance shared across the platform.

Built for India, only India

PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, gratuity, bonus and the DPDP Act 2023 are part of the core product, not an add-on. INR and the India financial year throughout.

Depth without the drag

Process discipline and statutory accuracy for growing and mid-market companies, without the cost or the multi-year rollout of a tier-one suite.

A guided go-live

Implementation time depends on employee count, data quality, integrations and payroll complexity.

Configured by your HR admin

Leave, attendance, payroll, expense and appraisal are configurable rule sets assigned to employee groups. A trained HR admin can own them, no certified consultant required.

Variable pay: frequently asked questions

Does the statutory bonus run follow the eligibility rules?

Yes. It applies the ₹21,000 eligibility limit, the 30-day minimum service, the ₹7,000 or minimum-wage calculation ceiling and the 8.33% to 20% range, and produces Forms A, B, C and D.

Is incentive achievement pulled from performance goals?

No. Achievement is entered or uploaded, or taken from the plan default.
