Going by the status and nature of work, I am afraid he will be covered under the Employees' Compensation Act 1923. You need to devise such a policy to cover senior employees and executives. It covers clerks, drivers, mechanics, welders, and persons employed in similar capacities.

Roads and Buildings are covered under the Central Minimum Wage Act. If the area of work is covered under ESIC, then ESIC is applicable. If not, then you have to take a WC policy (Workmen Compensation), which acts as insurance for the employee.
Regarding PF
PF will be calculated at 12% on basic for Employee Contribution and 12% on basic for Employer contribution. ESIC will be 4.75% on Gross. 1.75% of the gross will be deducted from the gross as Employee Contribution.
