We are a small software and hardware technology company with 15 employees in 2010 to 21 employees now. Last year we were served with factory act penalty for not taken a license and accordingly took a license by hiring a consultant. He was a shame. He did not file annual return under factory act and has not initiated any activity on ESIC front despite a clear instructions to regularise and comply with all laws since 2010 as applicable.
Our administration person ran around and at least got the PF work done and now we pay PF for 4 employees (under 15000). ESIC work is stalled as the required login and password is not being made available by him. Now we have fired him and he goes out with a string of threats of retribution from the concerned authorities as he has "contacts".
Also we do not maintain any records of employees time or attendance as we have flexible time. We do not maintain leave records also ( in the format required by factory act, which we are told is highly complicated). Some 15-16 registers are required to be maintained under factory act, as per the consultant. We have none.
We want to comply and are ready to pay whatever is required as per law. What can be done?
ALSO WHAT WILL BE THE PENAL ACTION FOR NOT FILING RETURN OF FACTORY ACT FOR 1 YEAR?
Thanks in advance from a worried employer.
