Hi all,
We are a start-up company and we have some issues in hiring staff as employees as most of our employees previously were from the unorganised sector where there was no PF account created for them. Since there are unwilling to contribute any amount towards PF, we would like to hire them as consultants.
I would like to know whether there is any statute or guideline which governs hiring of staff as consultants? What are the legal implications for the same.
