Outsourcing HR Services in Rajkot
HR for Rajkot’s engineering workshops
Rajkot is Gujarat’s engineering workshop, where the Aji and Metoda GIDC belts turn out machine tools, auto components, castings and bearings. Its payroll runs on skilled shopfloor and contract labour more than salaried desks. TMS supports Rajkot employers from our Mumbai head office and Vadodara branch inside Gujarat, handling payroll, contract staffing and compliance so your floors keep running.

Why Rajkot employers work with TMS
Rajkot’s employers are overwhelmingly manufacturers, and manufacturing HR is its own discipline. Skilled machinists at Metoda, casting units at Shapar-Veraval and engineering firms at Aji GIDC all run on shopfloor wages, shift attendance and contract crews. TMS has managed exactly this kind of workforce since 2006, so wage registers, contractor licences and shift payroll are routine for us.
With a branch in Vadodara we already operate inside Gujarat, close enough to Rajkot for onboarding, audits and site checks, while payroll and statutory filing run centrally from Mumbai. You get one team that keeps Gujarat Professional Tax, PF, ESI and Labour Welfare Fund filings current, rather than juggling separate vendors for payroll, staffing and compliance.
HR Compliance Landscape in Rajkot and Gujarat
Rajkot employers meet Gujarat state obligations alongside central law, weighted toward shopfloor and contract labour. Here is what applies.
Gujarat Compliance Requirements
Employers in Rajkot must meet these obligations alongside central laws:
- Professional Tax: Under the Gujarat State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976, salaries up to Rs 12,000 a month are exempt and salaries above Rs 12,000 attract Rs 200 a month, capped at Rs 2,500 a year, filed monthly by employers with fewer than 20 staff and quarterly by larger ones.
- Labour Welfare Fund: Under the Gujarat Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953, the contribution is Rs 6 from the employee and Rs 12 from the employer, Rs 18 in total per half-year, paid in June and December for establishments with 10 or more employees.
- Shops and Establishments: Commercial establishments register under the Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2019, covering working hours, leave and records.
- Minimum Wages: Gujarat notifies minimum wage rates by industry and skill and revises the dearness allowance periodically, which matters across Rajkot’s engineering and foundry roles.
- Contract Labour: Rajkot’s shopfloor and casting units bring registration, licensing and register duties under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, with the principal employer accountable.
- Central laws: PF, ESI, TDS, POSH and the four Labour Codes apply on top of the state obligations and carry most of the recurring filing work.
