We have hired 10 nos candidates from Polytechnic under the Apprentice act, now please tell me whether we should pay PF, ESI. If no , how are there medical being covered.
Dear Shal
In my opinion no need to pay PF and others. But medical you may include in your normal procedure at par with your temporary employees.
That would greatly address your issues,I hope.
Have a nice day...With best wishes,

Dear Ashish,
The Apprentice will work as a trainee cum employee. He will be paid with a consoldated payment in the name of stipend. It is for one year only.
No provision to continue beyond that time limit. A certificate has to be issued to the effect of successfull completion of Apprenticeship.
wish you all the best

Apprentice wont cover under pf act.hence no need to pay provident fund.either medical facility provided by company or ESI coverage must. else in the case of accident your company will be in soup.
Apprentices under the Apprentices Act 1961 are excluded from ESI and EPF Acts.Apprentices under the standing osders of the Co are excluded from EPF Act only but they come under ESI.Since EC Act is applicable to apprentices it is advisable to cover them under Personal Accident Insurance policy.
