Supreme Court Ruling on ESI Act: Can We Discuss the Missing Details Together?

Dear Members,

Attached is a Supreme Court judgment under the ESI Act that lacks detail regarding a new dispute, necessitating a comprehensive discussion. I kindly request respected members to contribute an article on this matter in the current thread.

Hi Hiren,

I think these are important judgments and hope this will help all HR & IR professionals.

In my opinion, this judgment has a peculiar set of facts such as daily employees or wages are engaged for work. The management could not identify them daily and also feels that they are unable or unwilling to get engaged daily. Thus, impleading the workers as parties to the proceeding would arise.

In another regular case, like a dispute over extra or incorrect contribution calculations, the impleading of workers would not arise.

Dear Friends,

I want to clear my doubt on the following issues: If any additional construction work is being done on the premises of the factory, is ESI payable for contract labor engaged in the construction work?
