Covid-19 : Manpower - Allowed Manpower - Salary payments

hr.krishnakumar
Dear Sir,

In view of phase-wise lock-down and relaxations, the appropriate governments are allowing the industries to run with less manpower (onrolls and contract) in Green / Orange Zones. If the local administration allows to run the industry with 33% manpower what is the legality on this matter as mentioned below:

1) Out of 1000 manpower, we can allow 333 manpower for duty. What about the payment of PF / ESI contributions for 637 manpower?

2) How many manpower to be shown for generation of PF / ESI challan?

3) What is the liability of employer to pay salaries / wages for 637 manpower as they have not worked at work place or work from home?

4) What is the impact of Non-working man-days in lock-down while calculating Annual Leaves, Annual Bonus and Gratuity?

Kindly clarify the above points.

Regards,

Krishna Kumar
