Hi to the L.C.I. Members,
Can any one suggest that if a govt. contractor has not filed his EPF and ESI for a work of 60 workers, and where the same workers has given undertaking not to deduct the said EPF and ESI amount from there salaries, because their salaries are very meger in count.
And as per the wish of the workers the contractor has not deducted from their saliers, but the agreement between principal employer and contractor speaks that he has deduct the said amount. Now the same workers approached the concerned authorities before EPFO and ESI, stating that they are deprived by their rights.
Is there any umbrella under the law for the contractor from the workers, because they given undertaking and now just took the chance before the authorities by filing wrong complaint.
Please give the advice or any answers to this problem.........
