Dear All
We have appointed one Driver purely on Contractual basis and paying him a consolidated amount of Rs. 4000 pm. My. question here is; Is it necessary to provide him PF and ESI. Ours is a very new company and we have only two employees on contract. For only two employees, we dont want to register ourselves with PF & ESI Authorities. This driver is working with us for last 15 days. He is asking us to provide him the insurance. In my own opinion, it is a must to provide insurance to the Driver. But is it also legally right?
Please guide me.
regards,
priyanka
