Hi,
Can anyone please let me know the answers to the following queries:
- How is PF and ESI handled for part-time employees? Will there be any difference in the % of amount deduction for part-time & full-time employees?
- How is insurance handled for part-time employees?
- How are bonuses and incentives handled for part-time employees? How much % do we need to pay as a bonus/incentive for part-time employees?
With thanks,

Legal Considerations for Part-Time Employees
Legally, this question has to be answered in two parts:
1) The Act does not state the term "Part-Time Employee's." Why not? Because the legislature never intended to segregate workers based on the hours they work. Therefore, if there are part-time employees, one has to pay statutory contributions for them.
2) The Acid Test here is twofold:
a) He must have a Master-Servant relationship with the employer, meaning direct subordination. This implies he must be kept on the muster roll.
b) If he is working as a professional on a Principal-Principal basis, no contribution is needed.
Along with Trade Union Laws, Registration, Returns & Procedure.
