A new facility has been added in the login of all employers to declare their Contractors (registered with EPFO) and the period of contract so that they as Principal employers may through their login view & monitor the compliance in respect of their contract employees reported in ECR by their contractors.
Under the EPF & MP Act, 1952 the definition of employee in section 2 (f) includes a person employed indirectly by or through a contractor.
With this facility, Principal Employers can view the amount of wages on which the EPF dues have been remitted by the contractor as compared to the wages and EPF employer’s share paid to contractor under the contract.
Benefit schemes of PMRPY & ABRY are being operated by the Central Government under which contractor as independently registered estts claim the Employee’s and Employer’s Share of EPF contributions from Central Government.
Now Principal Employers through this facility can view such benefits claimed from Central Govt. by their contractors in respect of their contract employees & regulate their payments to contractor accordingly.
