Dear Client, All the establishments covered under the ESI Act and all factories that employ more than 10 employees and pay wages below or upto Rs.21,000 per month (Rs.25,000 for employees with disability) must register with the ESIC and contribute towards the ESI scheme. contractual employees of municipal bodies are eligible for the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) scheme. Notifications for ESI coverage are issued by the respective States/ UTs, the casual and contractual workers working with municipal bodies will be able to avail the full gamut of benefits available under the ESI Act such as sickness benefit, maternity benefit, disablement benefit, dependent’s benefit, funeral expenses etc. These workers will be eligible to avail medical services through vast network of ESI facilities i.e., 160 hospitals and over 1500 dispensaries all over the country. Hope this answer help you.
In ESIC scheme you have to enrol yourself as a contactor. You also have to make certain government documents which will establish your firm’s name. The liability of a such a civil contactor increases as if there is any dispute between the person giving us the contract and our team then we have to handle it also if there is any accident such as any workers falls from the site of say 3rd floor or 10th floor and it results in death or other hazards then you have to pay a minimum compensation of Rs. 7 lakhs or you will have to get all your employees insured in Group insurance or you will have to stay in jail for 7-10 years so becoming a contractor is not too easy.
Dear Sir, It appears your father was only contract to do the jobs assigned by the other party. In my opinion his services may not be covered under EPFO and PF. Any way you personally contact any advocate who expert in labor court matters and show all the documents and such expert may help you.
