My query is about managing daily wagers' accounts as we are running a management institute and have deployed various workers in the fields of housekeeping, mess cooking, and gardening. We are approaching a labor contractor for the same.

Two important questions of mine are:
1. What amount, apart from daily wages, are we liable to pay in terms of ESI and PF?
2. What obligations does the contractor have to follow for ESI and PF?

All laborers are currently receiving Rs. 171 per day, and we are paying them on a monthly basis.

1. There is no other amount that needs to be considered other than daily wages to calculate ESIC and PF obligations for an employee on a monthly basis.

2. The contractor must maintain the following records to verify the same:
a) Muster Roll (Attendance Register)
b) Leave Register
c) Overtime Register (if the workers are doing overtime)

If you have any further queries in this regard, you may call me at 9314000013 or 9667000013, or email me at krishan.dhillan@usmc.co.in.

Dear Friend,

Before engaging a labour contractor,please ensure that your organization is registered with the labour office as "Principal Employer".After that,please issue the form v to the contractor so that he can apply for the "Labour license". There exsist some variations between one state to another, in requisite numbers of manpower deployment for making application towards labour license (10/20). However,its better if you do a planning for maximum headcount (tentative) and ask your contractor to apply for the said license.It makes no harm to either your organization or the contractor to obtain license for excess numbers but to deploy lesser headcounts.

Now,refer to the latest notification by the labour office at area of deployment to fix up the minimum wages payable against the scheduled of employment to be performed.Make sure its revised whenever notification of revision of wages is issued by the labour office.



In case the manpower is deployed at ESIc exeptmed area make sure the WC is obtained for the workmen.Also,ensure that the contractor is having registration for LWF and makes the contribution at specific time.

CTC payable to the candidates shall be Gross Salary+Employer's Share of PF & ESIC (WC in exempted area)+Bonus+Leave encashment as per the provision of Shop & Establishment Act.

Following are the registers,challans and returns are to be obtained by you for the contractor
