Dear Bhrdwah Harsh,
I am also facing the same problem in my factory with an employee who is deaf and mute and works as a sweeper but wishes to have her PF deducted. How can I appoint her as a confirmed employee? In the meantime, we are paying her without including her name in the payroll. Please advise!

Dear Mr. Mahendra,
If you have more than 20 employees, then that employee is eligible for PF deduction. If they are not performing well, please advise them to seek other job opportunities and complete their full & final settlement with the necessary notice period on humanitarian grounds.

Hi Mahendra,
You can issue her a confirmation letter and include her in your payroll list of employees. It is not advisable to pay her in cash. As Shuaib mentioned, organizations with 20 or more employees should opt for PF.

Dear Mahendra Singh Parihar,
You have had no issues with the performance of your employee who is deaf and mute so far. She completes the work assigned to her diligently, yet you fail to provide her with the appropriate salary and benefits she is entitled to. This is not only unjust but also illegal. When you engage someone to carry out tasks for you, it is essential to compensate them fairly and provide them with the legal benefits they deserve. Just as your services are acknowledged, her contributions should be equally recognized.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Korgaonkar K A,
Thank you for your valuable reply! My question is not about being unfair to the employee, but can we appoint her under the Factory Act? As per my knowledge, due to the risk factor, a person who is deaf and dumb has a higher risk while working, and the factory must take additional safety measures for such employees. Please advise!

Dear Mahendra Singh Parihar,
There is no provision in the FA which disqualifies the employment of any handicapped person. However, you are correct in pointing out that a deaf and dumb person may face more risks working in a factory from a safety standpoint. As a safety precaution, you can prohibit such a person from being near machines or machinery in motion.
You can certainly employ such a person and provide appropriate training. The individual has been employed with you to date, and you are satisfied with her performance, hence the question of confirming her services and ensuring her entitlement to PF, etc.
Please confirm her services and provide her with all statutory entitlements. She is eligible for all entitlements, so please do not prevent her from employment or her due entitlements. May God bless you and your company for the noble work of providing employment to such individuals.

Dear Mahendra Singh Parihar,
Further to my earlier post:
If the ESI Act is applicable to your company, then the employee is covered under the ESI Scheme for salaries up to Rs. 25,000. This means ESI is mandatory for salaries up to Rs. 25,000 in this case.
You are entitled to certain incentives from the Government if you employ such a person, as follows:
1. You do not need to pay the EPF employer share for up to three years. The Government will cover your share.
2. You do not need to pay the ESI employer share for up to three years. The Government will cover your share.

In fact, Titan Industries, being a micro precision industry, employs blind people to assemble watches. The office boys and peons are deaf and dumb, and the packing section employs spastics. The result is that their productivity is much more than that of normal people, as proven by research.
Sometime back, there was a television documentary about a certain chain of hotels in India employing only handicapped and challenged people, and the service levels there were outstanding. Inspired by this, Costa Coffee and Shangri-La group of hotels in certain locations have started hiring them. They have indicated that their service delivery levels are far superior to those of normal people. Not only do they get recognized for hiring challenged people, but their productivity and delivery levels are higher due to minimal distractions from others. Now, who is handicapped is anyone's guess!
