In India, contract workers form the backbone of industries like manufacturing, IT, and logistics. Yet, many businesses struggle to provide statutory social security benefits like EPF, ESIC, and gratuity to this workforce. Non-compliance not only risks penalties but also erodes trust and productivity.

At Gaur Industrial Services Pvt. Ltd., we help large enterprises streamline social security compliance for contract employees while reducing administrative burdens. From managing EPF filings to ensuring seamless ESIC enrollment, our solutions empower businesses to focus on growth—without compromising ethics or legal obligations.

The Challenges of Social Security Compliance for Contract Labor

1. Fragmented Statutory Requirements

India’s labor laws mandate social security benefits for contract workers under:

• Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF): 12% employer contribution.

• Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC): 4.75% employer contribution (for wages below ₹21,000/month).

• Gratuity: Payable after 5 years of service.

The Problem: Managing filings across multiple portals, tracking eligibility, and updating records for thousands of contract workers is time-consuming and error-prone.

2. High Costs of Non-Compliance

• Penalties: Up to ₹1 lakh + imprisonment for EPF/ESIC defaults (EPFO guidelines).

• Reputational Damage: Negative audits or worker disputes harm brand credibility.

3. Lack of Awareness Among Workers

Contract employees often don’t understand their entitlements, leading to grievances and attrition.
