In our organisation which is a manufacturing industry employing more than 2000 employees on roll and almost 1500 worker as contract labour. We are covered under PF and ESI.
In case we engage any firm for certain finance and taxation job then aren't they liable to comply with pf and esi clauses. The firm argues that they will not come under pf and esi as their manpower is less than 10.
My argument on the above is that as a responsible principal employer we must ensure vendors with pf and esi code because any person will enter in our factory premises should be covered under pf and esi to safeguard his interest.
Need your advice.
