Dear Seniors,

Ours is a construction company. Recently, a major accident occurred, leading to the site's closure for 20 days. We are considering paying the wages for these 20 days as idle time or pay for no work. Will this payment attract ESIC/PF deductions? Your assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

20 days under pay for no work / idle time ? How you are going to pay this amount? If it is through ay other head other than basic then it may not attract PF.
