Trainee Period - Compliances - Should company give them PF & ESIC Facilities?

Respected All, The question is If organisation is hiring candidates on Training Period for 3 or 6 months ( apart from Freshers and Apprenticeship) Should company give them PF & ESIC Facilities if yes any legal remedies, IF no are there any legal remedies , can compliance officer can take any action against this.

Hi,

If the trainees are hired as employees then you need to deduct PF /ESI. However if you are hiring INTERNS ( as part of their curriculum students are supposed to undergo training in their specialization area for stipulated time frame) then PF /ESI deduction will not be required.. But students should be hired through colleges with proper back-up like letter from the college .. once internship is completed Organization to issue Internship completion letter)

I am talking about, other than students.( experience candidates)

Hi,

You should deduct PF/ESI for those category ( experienced )
