Dear Team,
I'm new to contract labour/ statutory works. I have a confusion. I hope you will help me.
We are in construction company, we are principle employer. We have our contractor "XYZ" and they have subcontractors "abc" & "efg" etc.
For certain urgent works we had appointed the contractor "xyz" without PF & ESIC registration. "XYZ" is under works contract.
Now we have informed our contractor "xyz" to enroll his workers under ESIC & PF and he is not cooperative. He has no direct workers under him. Its all subcontractors.
So, 1. Can we (Principle Employer) ask the sub contractors to enroll under PF & ESIC?
2. If subcontractor pays ESIC & PF, contractor "xyz" is not liable to pay again right?
3. Principle employer is still be held liable if the subcontractors pay ESIC & PF and contractor doesn't pay?
Kindly send me the answers. Thank you.
