As immediate employer, the contractor has to cover their workmen under PF and ESI. If EsI coverage is not there, He has to take WC policy .It is the principal employer's
responsibility that the contractor pays in time.
However, if the contractor is not paying the principal employer has to pay.Hence, the principal employer has to check up the statutory documents of the contractor every month and ensure the same.
