These are situations which may become very sensitive. The labourer would have come under ESI had he been brought under the rolls properly. It is unfortunate that you or even your contractor failed to bring him under ESI. Now the only remedy is to sort out the matter as per Workmen's Compensation Act. Though he was not directly employed by you, he worked for the trade or business transacted by you only. Therefore, being the principal employer your responsibility is not limited but primary. When the question of compensation arises, there are chances of querries relating to minimum wages and non coverage of employee under ESI coming up. Therefore, it is advisable to have an outside settlement without interference of Labour department.
In fact I didn't come across with such a situation and therefore, my judgement may be wrong. Through out my career I have not diluted at least this point, that is to ensure that all those who fall under definition of ESI to be covered.

Dear,
In my company, one of the workers got injured, and he has swelling on his leg. He was treated by the doctor and took a leave for one day. Can I claim under the Workers' Compensation Act as we have the Workers' Compensation policy?
Seeking guidance for Workers' Compensation.

Since this is a partial disablement and the injury has not resulted in partial disablement for more than three days, the employer is not under any legal obligation to pay compensation. Therefore, it will not be worth opening the insurance cover for such incidents.
