EOR Agreements
After completing Company Setup, you'll need to review and sign three legal agreements before you can hire employees through Omnivoo's EOR service. These agreements establish the legal framework for the employer of record relationship.
Agreements are signed electronically and are legally binding under the ESIGN Act and UETA. You can request paper copies at any time by contacting contact@omnivoo.com.
Overview
There are three agreements to review and sign:
| Agreement | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Master Service Agreement (MSA) | Governs the overall EOR relationship between your company and Omnivoo |
| Data Processing Agreement (DPA) | Covers how employee personal data is processed, in compliance with India's DPDP Act 2023 |
| Commercial Addendum | Details service fees, payroll processing SLAs, employee management responsibilities, termination procedures, and liability terms |
All three must be accepted and signed before you can proceed to hiring.
Agreement 1: Master Service Agreement (MSA)
The MSA is the primary contract governing the employer of record relationship. It covers:
- Omnivoo's role as the legal employer
- Your rights and responsibilities as the client
- Intellectual property ownership
- Service scope and limitations
- Termination and dispute resolution
Some companies may have a custom MSA negotiated with Omnivoo. If your company has a custom agreement, it will be displayed instead of the standard MSA. You can view it directly in the browser or download it.
To accept the MSA:
- Read through the full agreement in the scrollable document viewer.
- Click "Download" if you'd like to save a copy for your records.
- Check the box: "I have read and agree to the Master Service Agreement"
- Provide your signature (see Signing Agreements below).
Agreement 2: Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
The DPA governs how employee personal data is handled, specifically in compliance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023. It covers:
- Data collected: Employee names, contact details, ID documents, bank details, tax information, and salary details.
- Processing purpose: Payroll administration, statutory compliance (PF, ESI, TDS), benefits administration, and government filings.
- Your rights: You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting contact@omnivoo.com or through your account settings.
- Complaints: You may file complaints with the Data Protection Board of India as established under the DPDP Act, 2023.
Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. Certain data may need to be retained for statutory compliance even after consent withdrawal.
To accept the DPA:
- Read through the agreement and the Data Processing Notice.
- Click "Download" to save a copy.
- Check the box: "I have read and agree to the Data Processing Agreement"
- Provide your signature.
Agreement 3: Commercial Addendum
The Commercial Addendum supplements the MSA with specific commercial terms:
- Service fees and pricing structure
- Payroll processing timelines and SLAs
- Employee management responsibilities
- Termination procedures and notice periods
- Liability caps and indemnification
To accept the Commercial Addendum:
- Read through the addendum in the scrollable viewer.
- Click "Download" to save a copy.

Common Questions
Can I negotiate custom terms? Yes. Contact contact@omnivoo.com to discuss custom MSA terms. Custom agreements are displayed in place of the standard MSA on the agreements page.
What if I need to update the authorized signatory? Contact Omnivoo support to update your signatory. Agreements previously signed remain valid.
Are the agreements versioned? Yes. Each agreement has a version number (e.g., v1.0) displayed next to its title. If Omnivoo updates an agreement, you'll be notified and may need to review and accept the new version.
Do I need to sign again for each new employee? No. Once you've accepted the agreements, they apply to all employees hired through Omnivoo's EOR service. You can hire additional employees without re-signing.
