We are into construction, and we have deployed laborers directly to all sites and provide weekly payments.
1. Please let me know whether they should be covered under ESI. The issue is that laborers are changing daily - new laborers are constantly coming and going.
2. Should they be covered under a Workers' Compensation policy?
3. Is there an option to cover ESI or any alternative for ESI that provides coverage without specifying names, for example, based on the total number of laborers at specific sites?
Can I receive detailed rules on this matter and how can it be practically implemented?

Dear Rajesh,
First of all, as of today, construction labor is not covered under the ESI. You have to cover them under the W.C. Act only.
For a construction agency, only office staff are coverable under the ESI Act. In case your workers are working in a covered unit, then their compliance may be done under that covered unit code no.
Thank you.

Dear Ashish,
Whenever an area is implemented under ESI, it is mandatory as per the Act that the unit MUST be covered under ESI. By coming under the fold of ESI, the employer can benefit from relief under other Acts, such as the Workmen's Compensation Act and the Maternity Benefit Act.
In cases where the area is not under ESI implementation and the class of workers is not covered under ESI, you must comply with the Workmen's Compensation Act.
I hope I have clarified your doubt.

Dear all,
My manufacturing unit has been covered under the ESI Act. Now, we are engaging civil daily labor for construction only of the extension building in our plant area. For these workers, we are preparing "civil Bills" towards their payments on a weekly basis.
Questions:
1. Are the daily laborers covered under the ESI Act, PF, and professional tax? If yes, how do I, as an HR professional, manage to favor both the management and the labor?
2. How should these expenses be booked for accounting purposes?

Venkat

If the area where your company is situated is covered by ESI, then you have to cover them under ESI. If your area is not covered, then you can ask the contractor to cover them under W.C. Policy, which can be taken as a group without giving a name. The contractor is solely responsible for the above. If he fails, then only the principal employer is responsible.

Dear Mr. Rajesh,
ESI is compulsory for all workers if your area of work is covered under ESI scheme. Mr. Rajesh, it's a simple process: just fill out Form No. 1 for every worker and deduct the ESI share from their wages. Deposit it monthly in SBI Bank A/C No. 1. With this, you are free from the tension of accidents.
