Dear All,
My company is not coming under ESIC area. But we do have contract labour and our contractor is coming under ESIC area.
As per my knowledge, one has to pay ESIC if that factory is comig under ESIC. In short, place is of work is also important when we think of ESIC.
Please let me know, do we need to pay ESIC to that perticular contractor's employees ?

Dear Rajesh,
The workman working for the contractor is covered under ESI Scheme. They are covered because they work for the contractor who is in the coverage area. The workmen come for work wherever the contractor posts them, hence they are covered.

Hi!
1. If the contractor's establishment is located in an area where the ESI Scheme is in force, his establishment stands covered under the ESI Act, provided he is employing 20 coverable employees including those working at various sites. He has to obtain a code number from ESI and comply in all respects.
2. If some of his employees are working on regular basis in areas where there is no ESI Scheme(non-implemented area), the contractor can seek exemption for them under Section 88 of the Act.
3. The principal employer's factory/estt. which is engaging these contract workers is located a non-implemented area, he is not liable under ESI either for his directly employed workers or workers engaged through the contractor. He has no liability for the contract workers under ESI. However, the employer is liable under the workmen's compensation Act.

Yes if the contractor's office comes under ESI limits you have to pay.
On the other hand if you dont pay you may strenthen the hands of contract labour in claiming permanancy. Thy may claim that as I am working at your end I am not covered under ESI Scheme.

Sir,
I fully support the views of kvrm2002.
It is on the part of the contractor to decide whether he want to comply or seek exemption u/s 88 in r/o his employees.The principal employer is certainly not responsible for their compliance under the ESI Act.
