Employee Compensation - Does Not Want Benefit Of ESI And PF Facility

swarnaliHR Chatterjee
Dear Sir, I have newly joined in a kids wear manufacturing sector where I have faced a compensation related problem. One employee is working here for three months. He gets his salary with the benefit of ESI and PF facility.
But he does not want that benefits because as per him his earning is very low to continue his family. Now what to do?

Please furnish Details of his Gross Salary for determining exclusion from ESI Coverage.If Gross Salary is more than Rs21,000/-PM, he can be excluded from ESI Coverage w.e.f 01/04/2017
Since, he is already covered under EPF, he has to continue to contribute to EPF Maximum up to rs15,000/-(Basic, DA, VDA) till he is in your Employment.

Thanks for your help. But his gross salary below 10,000 per month. We are continuing his ESI for last 3 months as he is joined last 3 month ago. Now he wants to withdraw his name from esi and pf benefit. Is there any rule that we can remove his name from ESI but he will be our employee?

If he is covered under the ESI Act and EPFMP Act, then there is no escape no matter whether he wants to remain covered or not.
It is infact the liability of the company to pay such statutory dues if the company and the employee are covered under both Acts.
