Part-Time Employees in HR: Can We Offer Benefits and Include Them on Payroll?

I have the following doubts:

1. Can we appoint part-time employees?
2. If appointed, can we provide benefits such as ESI and PF?
3. If appointed, can we include them in the company's roll?

Hi,

My views are as follows:

1. Can we appoint part-time employees? You can, but the need for such an appointment must be accurately assessed and determined.

2. If appointed, can we provide benefits such as ESI and PF? You must provide both EPF and ESI benefits.

3. If appointed, should we include them in the payroll? Yes, you need to include them on the payroll; it is necessary to do so.

Thank you.
