Dear Sir,

As per the Factory Act, every worker gets one day of weekly off for every six days of work. The IR team has given an opinion that workers will not be paid the minimum wage for the weekly off. They will only receive statutory contributions like PF, ESIC, EL, and PH based on a 26-day calculation.

Request you to provide your advice on whether the employer's statutory contributions should be paid on the weekly off or not?

Factories Act doesn't provide for wages on weekly holidays. However, for monthly rated employees, it is covered. Statutory contributions, whether of employer or employees, need to be paid only on wages paid. If you are not paying wages, there is no liability for contributions.
