VENDOR COMPLIANCE

31 There is an ESIC inspection coming up. The vendor has produced copies of the challans of contributions. Is this enough?

No, the Inspector will not accept this alone as there is no proof that ESIC has actually been deposited on behalf of the employee at the site. The vendor needs to produce a full contribution history for each employee at the site along with the challans. Also the vendor needs to tally the invoices raised on labour charges vs. actual wages disbursed and ESI challan paid for that particular client

WAGES

35 The client is an Insurance company. The vendor is paying the minimum wages as per the state rules. Is this acceptable ?

Certain types of companies like Airlines, Banks, Insurance Companies and other companies owned by the Government are governed under Central Labour Authorities and not the state labour authorities. Thus the Central Minimum Wages will apply and not the State Wages. Sometimes the State Minimum Wages are higher and the State Inspectors demand that the higher wages be implemented so it is safest to take the higher of the two amounts.
