Dear All,
It has been noted that most of the contract employees in export houses do not receive their bonuses.
I have conducted over 2000 audits and consistently found that the principal employer states that it is the contractor's responsibility to pay the bonus, but the contractors never provide the bonus to their workers.
On one occasion, a contractor fraudulently presented a bonus sheet. When I cross-checked the signatures of the workers with the salary sheet, I discovered discrepancies in the writing style of the names and signatures.
Most of the time, I found that a contractor uses the same ESI/PF numbers across several units and circulates the same documents in all units.
For example, let's say there are 500 employees in unit A. The contractor deducts the ESI/PF as per legal requirements and deposits it in two or three separate challans instead of a single challan. The contractor then provides the challan according to the requirements of other factories.
To manipulate the calculation and make the amounts appear consistent with the actual manpower, the contractor adjusts the amount deposited by adding or subtracting seven days (sometimes adding overtime amounts) to match the challan amount.
This unethical practice needs to stop.
