The employee joined with firm 9 years back and @ 8k in hand and got esi and pf. He left the firm in 1 year and took out all his pf contributions. Future firms did not provide him PF/ESI afterward as per checked by his UAN. Now he came back to the 1st firm for the job and wishes to join for a 23k salary. Now the firm has to give him PF/ESI or not? Because the firm wants to give 23k CTC but the employee wants to join at inhand 23k.
So the confusion is if:
1. If PF/ESI is mandatory even now then the employee says he won't deduct anything from his account and firm ctc would be very high to the rate of 23k + pf (1.8k+1.8k)+ esi.
2. He says he doesn't need pf/esi cuz he has nil balance in his account and hence firm doesn't need to increase ctc.
Firm needs employees but doesn't want to increases its cost burden. I hope I was able to explain the issue, if not clear, please respond and i will try to clear it.
Also, he says he will join only if yearly bonus is given, but firm said bonus is only given if salary is under 21k. Employee says bonus is for every employee and not fair if not given to him. Firm is confused cause he is the only person with highest salary for the firm.
