The Principal employer is expected to ensure that the contractor has paid wages, and statutory contributions like ESI, PF, Bonus etc in time. He can very well collect the proof of such payment before the bill of the contractor is paid. If it is found that the contractor has not paid the bonus, the principal employer should pay it and then collect it from the contractor either in cash or by adjusting the payment due to him in the next course.
