Contract workers are entitled to EPF benefits, and both principal employers and contractors have specific responsibilities. Get expert guidance on coverage, registration, claims, and dispute resolution for contract employees.
Contractor EPF Coverage
Under the EPF & MP Act, 1952, contract employees (including those engaged through contractors) are eligible for EPF benefits if they meet the criteria (employee count, wages, etc.). The responsibility for EPF compliance may fall on the contractor, but in case of default, the principal employer is held liable. This creates complex situations for workers, contractors, and principal employers.
