Job description
About us At Ugaoo, we’ve always believed plants are more than décor — they’re companions, healers, and reminders of what truly matters. What began as a small idea sparked by a plant on a windowsill has grown into India’s leading gardening brand, backed by marquee investors like DSG Consumer Partners and V3 Ventures. From our 25-acre farm in Talegaon to a thriving D2C store and retail presence across Pune, Mumbai, Delhi and Bangaluru - we’re building an ecosystem that brings nature closer to homes, offices, and communities. About the Role We are looking for a detail-oriented and process-driven Manager - Payroll & Compliances to lead end-to-end payroll operations and statutory compliance while ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to all applicable regulations. This role will be responsible for managing payroll for a large and diverse workforce, driving compliance across multiple statutory requirements, partnering with Finance and HR Operations, and strengthening payroll governance through reporting and process excellence. The ideal candidate brings strong knowledge of Indian payroll, taxation, labor laws, and HRMS systems, along with the ability to build scalable and compliant processes. Key Responsibilities Payroll Management

Prepare salary structures with sound knowledge of taxation and income tax, ensuring compliance while optimizing tax efficiency for employees wherever applicable.
Coordinate with the Finance and HR Operations teams to ensure accurate employee lifecycle data including onboarding, confirmations, attendance, leave records, exits, documentation, payroll inputs, policy adherence, and full & final settlements.
Maintain accurate employee records in HRMS and support the preparation of HR letters, contracts, payroll reports, and related documentation.

Design MIS reports and payroll analytics dashboards for leadership, delivering actionable insights for headcount planning, cost optimization, and compensation decisions.
Partner with internal auditors, external consultants, and labour authorities to successfully close inspections and audits with zero critical observations, positioning the organization as a compliance benchmark.
