You can hire an intern through Omnivoo's Employer of Record service in India, from the same hire wizard you use for a full-time employee. The intern is paid a monthly stipend, signs an internship agreement, and can be made a full-time employee when the internship ends. See [Converting an Intern to a Full-Time Employee](https://help.omnivoo.com/eor/converting-an-intern.md). ## How an Internship Differs | | Intern | Full-time employee | | - | - | - | | **Pay** | A monthly stipend, in INR | An annual salary, split into basic, HRA and allowances | | **Tax** | A flat 10% TDS from the first stipend | TDS at slab rates, with an investment declaration | | **PF, ESI, Professional Tax, gratuity** | None | As the law requires | | **Security deposit** | None | One month of cost to company | | **Health insurance, bonuses, incentive plan** | Not during the internship. You can add them when you convert | Optional at hire | | **Agreement** | Internship agreement | Offer letter | | **Notice period** | 1 to 30 days | At least 15 days | Omnivoo treats interns as professionals, so the stipend has no salary split and no statutory contributions. The stipend is paid in full for each month. Only an internship that ends early is paid for the days worked. ## Hiring an Intern Start a hire from your Home dashboard: click **Add people** and choose **India EOR employee**. If this is your first EOR hire, finish the [company compliance gate](https://help.omnivoo.com/eor/hiring-eor-employee.md#before-you-start-company-compliance-gate) first. **1. Employee info** The same as any hire: first and last name, email, job title, and optionally department and who they report to. **2. Employment** Under **Hiring as**, choose **Intern**. The step then asks for: | Field | What it means | | - | - | | **Start date** | Their first day | | **Internship end date** | Their last day. It must be after the start date, and an internship can run for up to a year | | **Job title if you keep them on** | The full-time role the internship agreement offers them if you keep them on, from the day after the internship ends | | **Work hours / week** | Their weekly hours | | **Notice period (days)** | Between 1 and 30 days. Starts at 1 | | **Probation (days)** | Starts at 7, the agreement's first week | Interns are engaged on Omnivoo's Maharashtra establishment and work remotely. **3. Stipend** Enter the **Monthly stipend** in INR. Stipends are entered in INR. If your invoice is in another currency, it's converted when payroll is approved. The preview shows what they're paid after the 10% TDS. The PF section, bonuses, the incentive plan and health insurance aren't offered for an intern. The cost breakdown shows the stipend and Omnivoo's fee, with no security deposit. **4. Review** Check the details. **If you keep them on** shows the full-time title and the day it would start. **Total cost of the internship** covers the whole internship. ## What Happens After You Hire 1. The intern gets a welcome email from Omnivoo and an invitation to set up their account. 2. They complete onboarding: their IDs, bank account, documents, policies, and the background check consent. See [Background Verification](https://help.omnivoo.com/eor/background-verification.md). 3. Their internship agreement is ready to sign once the consent is signed. They sign it first, then Omnivoo countersigns. 4. They join payroll and are paid the stipend each month, with 10% TDS taken off. ## The Intern on Your People Page An intern shows as **EOR intern** in People, and as **India EOR intern** on their page. Their page shows the monthly stipend, what they're paid after TDS, the internship end date, and the full-time role the agreement offers. Their **Payroll** tab shows the stipend and its TDS, and **Compliance** shows that PF and ESI do not apply. While the internship runs, **Convert to employee** is the main action. **Edit employment** and **Terminate employment** are in the menu beside it. Changing the stipend takes effect from the date you pick, and there's no letter for the intern to sign. Once the internship end date passes, the stipend carries on until you act: convert them to a full-time employee, or end their employment. ## What the Intern Sees The intern's portal words everything for a stipend. Home, **Pay** and **Payslips** show the stipend and the 10% TDS. **Tax documents** shows the TDS taken by tax year, with no Form 16, since Form 16 is for a salary. There's no investment declaration, as there's nothing to declare. **Documents** holds the signed internship agreement.
