Registration of Contractual Laborers under PF & ESI Act
An establishment is registered under both the PF & ESI Act. My question is whether it is required to register a contractual laborer who works for only a few days and is then replaced by another laborer, similar to the first.
Thank you.

Coverage of Contractual Workers Under PF and ESI
If the establishment is covered under both the PF & ESI, then any contractual workers, irrespective of the number of days worked, must be covered under both PF & ESI.
Importance of ESI
ESI is very important in case of any accident. For a short duration of 1/2 days, one may take the risk to avoid PF, but for a long duration, it is a must. When the concerned worker is not available, instead of striking down his name, show him as earning 0. For long non-availability, mark an exit for the employee.
