I agree with the views expressed by Veda Team. I have already indicated in my remarks that ESI Act makes no difference between contractor employees or regular employees. It is a system of social insurance and is compulsory and some official is required to check the compliance made and principal employer is responsible for any failure of compliance.
It makes no difference if you cover the employees through personal medi-claim insurance/any Insurance company since still compliance is to be made under ESI Act. Further compliance of ESI has no relation with grant of status of permanency status to any contract employees.

Mr. Mahendran,
Just have a look the post which has bee posted by you....
When yu start paying contributions for those 4 people yu have the risk of givng them an oppurtunity to claim permanency .
When ESI is not an option try complying with Employees compensation Insurance available with many insurance companies.
Or you can cover them in personal accident policy or a mediclaim policy through the contractor and the same can be reimbursed in his bills,
Even Supreme Court also given very clear cut judgement stating that, contract worker can not claim permanency from the company based on ESIC & EPF contribution paid by the Company or principal employer. so then where is question of permanency??? How cum ESIC can be option in this case ????

Respected
rajneeshkulshreshth
these all doubts will get cleared if u file online monthly returns & if u upload new employees data to a online ESIC portal.
as per my experience with the ESIC portal (Means this is the final judgment step that these persons will get benefit or not)
if she did't uploaded the the spouse details then she can add her father & mother names
if a female person uploaded her spouse then tshe cant upload her Father & mother means they won't get the benefits. hear she can upload her Father-in-law & Mother-in-law
like this the ESIC portal works according to this only the the ESI Pehachan card will generate & ESI hospital also work

Dear Sir,
If your factory/estb in ESIC coverage area, every employees who are drawing salary upto Rs. 15000/- p.m. should be registered under ESIC Act. But your canteen contractor is not registered under ESIC Act, advisable, you don't registered all 4 canteen employees under your code no as they may claim as your company's employees, definitely they will challenge in court as all of them are covered under your company code, legally they will your employees.
Recommended - You have to suggest canteen contractor that hire third party payroll/ outsourced the payroll and enroll them under their ESIC code, then you will be safe and contractor also will safe and all employees will be enrolled under ESIC.

Hi
if we see from the angle of covering under ESI and administrative convenience, we may need to bear with heavy penalities and liablity under the word compliance in case of any eventuality. Hence, advise canteen contractor to registered with ESI. This will protect your company n employer.

Hi MUBASHIRA.S.M,
You can pay the employees ESI contribution only ( Not PF) in your company's Account and the amount of 6.5% can be charged to the caterer , since ESIC provides not only medical benefits but also covers hospital expenditure and 50% salary is paid by ESIC in case of sick leave.
In a nut shell it is better to cover under ESI act, also even if the employee leave the job he/she will get six month medical benefits.
Thanks

Hi Disha

As per your first question, you have to enroll all employees of the unit which is in ESI Coverage area, and take Workmen Compensation Policy of all employee who are working in the unit which is not in ESI coverage area (you have to confirm first otherwise enroll all employees under ESIC).

Secondly, if you wants to take over all compliance work form your consultant, take password of ESI to file monthly contribution online, other related documents and record which he have. And you will get all record online which work done by consultant.

You have to go on www.esi.nic.in website of ESI log in overthere (put 17 digit your estb code no in Log in id and password) and click 'file monthly contribution' then put the gross salary and worked days -click the submit button - new window will appear - create challan / pay online, choose whatever you wants to do. if any problem call to nearest ESI office customer care/facilitation center.
