From Offer Letters to Exit Letters: How Third-Party Payroll Covers the Entire Employee Lifecycle
Hiring an employee isn’t just about onboarding them—it’s about managing their entire journey with your organization. From the moment a candidate receives their offer letter to the day they leave and receive their experience certificate, every stage requires documentation, compliance, and process clarity.
That’s why more and more companies are choosing third-party payroll providers—not just for salary processing but to manage the full employee lifecycle with professionalism, accuracy, and speed.
Let’s walk through how a third–party payroll partner like Exertion HR Solutions Pvt. Ltd. supports you at every step.
📍 Stage 1: Offer & Appointment Letters
First impressions matter. Third-party payroll providers begin by:
- Drafting and issuing customized Offer Letters based on your terms
- Creating legally sound Appointment Letters as per labor law guidelines
- Collecting digital acceptance and storing it securely
📝 Why It Matters: This ensures your hiring starts on the right legal and professional note, reducing future disputes.
🚀 Stage 2: Onboarding & Documentation
After acceptance, the onboarding journey begins. Here’s what a third–party payroll partner manages:
- Employee KYC Verification (Aadhaar, PAN, Bank, etc.)
- UAN generation and PF/ESIC registrations
- Bank account linking for salary deposits
- Initial data entry into HRMS and payroll systems
📂 Why It Matters: Fast onboarding = quicker productivity, fewer errors, and full compliance from Day 1.
💼 Stage 3: Active Employment & Payroll Management
Now that the employee is onboarded, the payroll partner ensures:
- Monthly salary processing, including overtime, bonuses, reimbursements
- Statutory deductions & filings (PF, ESIC, TDS, PT, LWF)
- Pay slip generation, Form 12BA, and monthly tax statements
- Leave and attendance sync for accurate calculations
- Periodic issue of confirmation letters
💸 Why It Matters: This keeps employees paid on time, legally compliant, and professionally managed.
📤 Stage 4: Resignation or Termination Process
When an employee resigns or is relieved, third-party payroll providers manage:
- Calculation of leave encashment and final salary
- TDS and final deductions for tax compliance
- Coordinate with managers for asset return and clearances
⏳ Why It Matters: A smooth exit process reflects well on your brand and minimizes post-exit grievances.
📄 Stage 5: Full & Final Settlement and Exit Letters
The final steps of an employee’s lifecycle include:
- Issuance of Full & Final Settlement letter
- Experience Certificate with tenure and role clarity
- Form 16 issuance for income tax purposes
✅ Why It Matters: Maintaining proper F&F and exit records protects the employer legally and ensures smooth audits. It also strengthens employer branding and supports future verification needs.
🎯 Why Use a Third–Party Payroll Partner for the Full Lifecycle?
- Reduces HR Load: Your internal team doesn’t have to juggle multiple tools or track individual compliance timelines.
- Ensures Legal Accuracy: Every stage is managed per the latest state and central labor laws.
- Improves the Employee Experience: From offer to exit, everything is handled professionally, improving employee trust.
- Saves Time & Resources: One vendor. One system. One compliant, seamless process.
