Add work locations & go multi-state
Register every office/state so Professional Tax, LWF and minimum wages compute per location.
Comsky HRMS is multi-state out of the box — not a paid add-on. Each work location carries a state, which drives state-specific statutory rules.
Assign a state to each location
- 1Go to App → Compliance → Registration.
- 2Under Work Location Statutory Coverage, pick the correct state for each of your existing locations — this is what drives Professional Tax, LWF and minimum-wage rules for that office.
Tip: Adding a brand-new location beyond the one created for you at signup isn't self-service yet — contact your Comsky onboarding contact to add offices as you expand into new states.
Why state matters
- Professional Tax slabs differ by state, are gender-aware and cap annually — Comsky HRMS resolves the right slab from the employee's location.
- Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) contribution cycles are state-specific.
- Minimum-wage references are tracked per state.
Tip: Assign each employee to a location on their profile. If you change someone's location later, it is recorded as a transfer event on their lifecycle timeline.
Multiple legal entities
Per-location PF establishment codes and ESI employer codes are part of the data model, but there's no self-service screen to set them yet — contact support if you're running multiple registered establishments and need this configured.
