Dear Jayalatheesh,
What you are entering into is a contract for service which is devoid of employer-employee relationship between the parties to the contract . The tenure of the contract may be initially for a fixed period of say one to two years with the enabling clause for further extension from time to time subject to necessity and willingness of the parties as mutually agreed. In case of foreclosure of the contract by either of the parties, a clause providing for notice and foreclosure compensation to the other should be incorporated. The compensation payable to the consultant should be retainer basis subject to TDS and service tax as applicable.

As per my opinion,

Mr Umakanthan has given well explained clarification of your query. I would like to add few:-

1. You should frame a formal agreement in which important clauses should be mentioned like, Scope and description of Service, period, Remuneration fees, Contract foreclosure terms and its compensation, Confidentiality, Invoicing and payment detail, Conflict of Interest etc.
2. Intimation of company policies and procedures which required to do the services under the contract.
3. Under COW Act, now Gratuity is payable to the FTC on completion of one year service.
4. You have to deduct applicable TDS (TDS of Professional) on the billing/pymt (whichever is earlier) as per govt. norms.

Senior can give more inputs on the matter.

Dear Jayalatheesh,
The person can be hired for one year as a consultant on piece rate basis/ per day basis but payment will be made at the end of month on deduction of appropriate tax applicable. The agreement can be end up by the promisor at any time with a notice of 7 days and similarly promisee can do so by giving notice of 30 days without cost. You can reengage a person making new contract after one year, if his services required.

Dear Jayalatheesh,

You can hired this person on retainership basis.
He is not eligible for PF , Gratuity , Bonus, Leave, etc.
You can fix his retainership period for one year.
Also fix his fees on monthly basis.
He can submit his bill on month to month basis.
You can deduct his TDS as per act.
During the period of his retainership with you he shall not engage himself directly or indirectly with or without remuneration on whole time or part time basis in any trade, business, occupation, employment or calling other than that of the company.

He will not indulge in any subversive activities, riotous behavior, sabotage etc. and will work peacefully and abide by rules, regulation and practices as they exist or as may be modified from time to time as applicable to the establishment to which you may be attached.

Dear Sir, If we take our employee after retirement, can we give him a salary, Does not give other benefits mean PF ESIC? also can leave not be given?

Hi,

" If we take our employee after retirement, can we give him a salary," Yes you should. You can't expect free service.

"other benefits mean PF ESIC?" If hired on regular rolls only PF can be contributed. If Gross salary is above Rs.21000/- then ESI won't be applicable.

"also can leave not be given" It depends on the employment category. whether you are planning to hire on regular basis or on part time basis ?

After retirement if you are planning to utilise the services of the employee on full time basis then employee can be hired on regular rolls and if it is on part time basis then the retired employee can be hired as Retainer Consultant. In this case employee will offer his/ her expertise on limited time basis.
