Contractor is not paying salary to labour

As a Principal Employer, the Company has responsibility and liability.

If you have already paid the amount to the contractor, then ask the contractor to produce proof that he has made payments to the workers.  Otherwise, stop further payments to him.

In fact you are liable to ensure that he properly remits the EPF amounts etc. with the authorities.

It is always the principal employer's responsibility to see that the contractual workmen are getting the statutory benefits. That is reason why many principal employers engage Labour Law Auditors in their Company to minimizing the legal risk. If you have not engage any Statutory Audit System in your Company till now, please ensure it is right now before you trapped into unnecessary legal hackles.

Ok, Thank you.

is the contractor depositing dues in PF and ESI as well.

The employees engaged through the contract labour as covered under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act will not be entitled to bonus from the principal employer. In Cominco Binani Zinc Ltd. v. Pappachan, 1989 (1) LLJ 452: 1989 LLR 123, the Kerala High Court has held that neither the Contract Labour (R&A) Act nor the Payment of Bonus Act provides that the employees engaged through the contractor will be entitled to bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act.

This was really helpful.

Thank you
