## How EOR Works

When you hire through Omnivoo, here is what happens behind the scenes:

1. **Legal employment:** Omnivoo becomes the legal employer of your team member in India. We sign the employment agreement, issue the offer letter, and maintain all statutory records.
2. **Your management:** The employee works for you day-to-day. You assign work, set goals, and manage performance. Omnivoo does not interfere with your operations.
3. **We handle compliance:** Omnivoo manages Indian labor law requirements: Provident Fund registration, ESI enrollment, TDS deductions, Professional Tax, and all statutory filings.
4. **We run payroll:** Every month, Omnivoo calculates salary, deducts taxes, makes statutory contributions, and disburses net pay to the employee's bank account.

## Why Companies Use Omnivoo

* **No entity needed.** Setting up a private limited company in India takes 3-6 months and costs ₹5-10 lakh annually to maintain. Omnivoo lets you hire in days.
* **Full compliance.** Indian labor law is complex, covering PF Act 1952, ESI Act 1948, Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, state-specific Shops & Establishments Acts. Omnivoo handles all of it.
* **Indian salary structures.** We manage CTC breakdowns with Basic, HRA, Special Allowance, PF, ESI, and gratuity, structured correctly per Indian norms.
* **Employee experience.** Your employees get a proper Indian employment experience: payslips, Form 16, tax declarations, leave management, and self-service portal.
