The cost of ELSS will depend entirely on your business needs and structure, with the option to pay annually or by instalments.
The scheme can include:

Optional MyHR Manager service
MyHR Manager is a HR software package that can be used by you and your employees. This can cover many aspects and you can decide what is and is not included in the software you use.
Absence management and data storage and collection can be essential to the smooth running of any business, and this is just one of the things that can be used as part of this service.
A demonstration can be arranged if this is of interest to your business either as a standalone service or part of ELSS.
Optional Insurance
Insurance is available to all employers to cover against employment claims by employees. There are different levels of cover available whereby you can cover legal costs and/or damages as well or proportions of both. There are also various levels of excess which you can choose, each package is bespoke to the business.
Insurance is supplied through a third party and if you would like to arrange a quote either as part of ELSS or as a standalone policy, we can arrange this. Please speak to one of the team to discuss.
Optional Employee Assistance Programme Access
For an additional cost we can also provide you with services to access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which can give your employees access to professional, completely confidential counselling services to support their mental health and wellbeing.
