Dear Mr.Prabha,
Here are some points that answer the frequent doubts arising in members like you.
You can cover LWF upto the grade of Managers. All Directors and Authorised signatories (who have the right to punish employees), Internal Consultants are exempted from LWF.
The LWF is deducted and remitted annually in December at Teynampet. Once becoming a subscriber of LWF, a Tamil monthly 'Uzhaippavar Ulagam' is sent to you. This carries latest amendments, Trade Union laws, judgements related to Labour Act etc.
LWF has no relevance to PF/ ESI coverage in general. Those exempt under ESI will also be covered under LWF.
Fill up Form-A, mention the company name, (without any LF code No), address, list of employees, fund particulars, and remit for the first time by chq/DD. A new LF No will be alloted later in the receipt.
Forward a copy of this receipt and annexure particulars to Finance Department of your company.
Regards,
Chandru
