HR Role in Employee Benefits: Do I Need to Register Anything Beyond PF and ESI?

HR Responsibilities for Employee Benefits

I know that my accounts department provides PF, ESI, and welfare benefits to the employees because I have seen the deductions in the salary. However, in HR, do I need to do anything else, like register anything else, and where?

Regards

Can you tell me if I need to register with the labor department as we are a hotel with about 55 employees only?

Thank you.

Regarding the hotel industry, it is essential to maintain several registers such as the muster cum wages register, attendance register, advance register, fine register, overtime register, shops and establishment license, PF, ESIC, etc.

I assume your question is based purely on PF, ESIC, and Welfare Benefits. Both the PF and ESIC acts require certain records to be maintained. These records are now directly generated in the online systems implemented by the PF and ESIC departments. I assume that your accounts department has already been handling this. It's advisable to confirm with them that they have the relevant records and have generated the registers from the online system and saved them.

For the Welfare Fund, you need to maintain a detailed record (usually done every 6 months) of the employees who worked during that period, their monthly salaries, and the corresponding deductions to be made.
