EPFO’s
electronic facility to link principal employers with contract staff
The facility will help employers view compliances
of the contractors.
Principal employers can now easily view the compliances of their contractors,
thanks to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s (EPFO) newly launched
electronic facility. With this facility, principal employers — that is, owners
or managers of factories / companies, who supervise the establishment and
employ contract workers via contractors — will be interlinked with their
contract staff to ensure compliance. Using the app, the principal employers can
upload work orders, employment contracts or any information pertaining to
contract workers directly. Not only will this ensure efficient e-governance in
compliance, but also help to extend provident fund benefits to eligible staff.

Labour Codes: Free
annual medical check-up for staff via ESIC
The employers will not have to be bear the
expense if staff get their health check-ups done through the Government’s
social security scheme. The new labour codes will allow employers to
get their staff’s annual medical check-up done through the Employees’ State
Insurance Corporation —for the employees registered with ESIC. Under the draft
occupational safety health and working conditions rules put forth by the
Government last year, employees who are more than 45 years old, will be able to
avail free yearly medical check-up, the cost of which was earlier borne by the
employers. All establishments will have to ensure an annual medical check-up of
their employees by April every year. In case they are not covered under ESIC,
the companies must get this check-up done at their own expense via partnerships
with healthcare companies. Employees with income up to Rs 21,000 a month are
covered under ESIC and establishments with a minimum of 10 employees are
covered under the ESIC schemes and benefits.
