Understanding Employment Exchange Act, Compliance Requirements, and EPF Applicability in Private Com

Dear All,

Can anyone guide me on the relevance of the "THE EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGES (COMPULSORY NOTIFICATION OF VACANCIES) ACT, 1959" in today's establishment? Is it compulsory for private companies? Can you explain it to me in layman's terms?

It is applicable in private companies as well. You have to fill out ER1 quarterly and ER2 once every two years.

Yes, it is applicable to all companies irrespective of Private or Public or Government & non-Government. However, as per section 3(1), there are certain establishments that are exempted from the applicability of this Act, which are as follows:

(a) In any employment in agriculture (including horticulture) in any establishment in the private sector, other than employment as agricultural or farm machinery operatives.
(b) In any employment in domestic service.
(c) In any employment, the total duration of which is less than three months.
(d) In any employment to do unskilled office work.
(e) In any employment connected with the staff of Parliament.

Except for these exemptions, it is applicable to all, and there are certain compliance requirements that need to be followed by companies, such as notifying vacancies at least 15 days before conducting tests/interviews, and submitting ER-I, ER-II, etc.

Dear,

Thank you for your reply. My company's employee size is 15, and we are not classified as an exempted establishment. I am questioning if the Employees' Provident Fund Act is applicable to my company because, to my knowledge, this act is applicable to companies with 25 or more total employees.

Please provide clarification.

Thank you.

ER-1 form is to be submitted quarterly, and ER-2 format is to be submitted yearly.

Thank you.

Greetings to Everybody,

Kindly provide ER-2 notification for Punjab as it is no longer mandatory to submit.
