Contractor compliance checklist
As the principal employer, you share responsibility for your contractors' workers. Tick what you collect from each contractor today and see the gaps to close first.
- Monthly checks before you release contractor payments
- Onboarding a new manpower or facility vendor
- Preparing for a labour inspection or audit
What do you collect?
Good to know
Why it matters
If a contractor does not pay wages, PF or ESI, the principal employer can be asked to pay and recover it later.
Check every month
Collect challans and wage proof before you release the contractor's invoice. It is the simplest control.
Licences
With 50 or more contract workers, the contractor needs a licence and you register as principal employer.
Keep it together
Store every document by contractor and month, so you can answer an inspector or auditor in minutes.
