Dear HR Professionals,
Our manufacturing unit is based in Baddi (Himachal). We have employee base of 1500 people and we are into manufacturing of auto parts. Since there are no statutory provisions of Employee Welfare Fund in Himachal. If we can create our own Employee Welfare fund in the plant, and what will be legal repercussions if we deduct a nominal amount (Rs 5 from workers and Rs 10 from Staff) on monthly basis from the salaries of employees in name of Employee Welfare Fund. We will use the collected amount to support the deceased employees families and to the accident affected employees (Partial or Total Disability). Although employer provide assistance in these kind of circumstances apart from the statutory benefits from ESIC but we want to give extra help to the affected employees.
Please share your views and suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunil Jaglan
