Does Hiring Temporary Construction Workers for Our Factory Trigger ESI Requirements?

We have employed temporary casual construction labor for the construction of an additional building to our factory. Will this arrangement attract ESI?

Thank you.

Yes, they will come under ESI, and you have to pay along with your company contribution. Provide a necessary temporary ESI card to them if they don't have one. Otherwise, ask them to produce the ESI number if they have it and pay the same, mentioning the ESI numbers.

Thank you.
