ESIC and PF Registration: What Happens if an Employee Leaves After Just 5 to 10 Days?

Dear All,

I have a query regarding the ESIC and PF. If an employee has worked only for 5 to 10 days and left the job, will he/she be registered for ESIC and PF?

Thanks,
Sukanya

ESIC and EPF registration of employees should be done immediately on joining but not later than 14 days. It does not matter that the employee worked for a few days or few hours, if any wages or salary are paid or are payable, then contributions are mandatory.
