Navigating ESI PF Requirements for Small Firms with Temporary Laborers: What Should I Know?

ayan-guha-thakurta
Dear Sir, I have a small firm manufacturing and trading garments. I have 2-3 employees (managers at fixed salary) who have worked here continuously for over a year. However, my wages for labor vary from 6-10. The laborers are not always present; they shift from one company to another (on and off) and are not fixed here (present for a week and absent or absconding for a month with no guarantee of returning to my firm) (no appointment letter). Do I fall under the ESI PF as I don't have laborers who are fixed or work here continuously? Also, if a laborer works for an uncertain period of time, 1 day-2 months of employment, do I have to apply every time a laborer is taken on by my firm? Kindly help, sir. Warmest Regards.

No, as per the size of employees, you are not covered under ESIC or PF. For further clarification, please contact any business law consultant.
