How you show wages/salary paid to that remotely Working employee?
If it is your or contractor to whom paying bills for providing manpower then you need to get covered under Shop & Establishment Act of your respective area.
If neither you nor through manpower Contractor/Supplier engage any employee then question of business will not come in picture.

Remote/ Close these are secondary issue.
Is your organization is big enough to get covered under ESI, PF, Gratuity, Bonus Act? Please ensure this first and procure necessary coverage.

No. If he is working as a consultant, he does not need to follow your shop and establishment rules. Whether he needs to follow his own, that depends on his own size and setup and not your concern
