Dear All,
I am working in Construction Industry.In our Company most of the Labourers are being paid on weekly and on piece rate basis.The average earnings of a labourers is definitely more than Rs.6500/-Per Month (The statutory ceiling limit under PF is Rs.6500/-).These earnings of the labourer is from the starting of his engagement.They are reluctant to be covered under PF as they will be working only for a short period (Maximum of One Year)
I request you all for opinion and suggestions on the following :
01.Whether these labourers have to be covered under the provisions of EPF ?
02.if not,what will be the position in case if their earning fall below Rs.6500/P.M ?
03.Can we take a request letter from these workers not to cover under the Act ?
04.Whether such a request letter is legally valid ?
With Regards
N.Mohan
