Provident Fund Department in its earlier circular stated that the field offices shall not allot code numbers and insist for local compliance in respect of the units/branches of the already covered establishments. However, there was no bar to the allotment of code number for the local unit/branch in case of a request by the establishment for their administrative convenience.
Based on the above directions issued by the Department, many establishments having employees working at different locations and branches were depositing PF dues of all the workers under a single PF code number. However, there were demands by the local PF officials to give a facility for field offices to monitor compliance in their inspection area or information driven scrutiny of compliance.
Considering the gap in compliances, Provident Fund Department has developed a facility for all such employers to furnish their location-wise employees' particulars.
PROCEDURE:
Ø Now, an employer can declare for each employee the period for which the employee has worked at a particular branch/location by utilizing the facility provided for this purpose in the employer's portal at a unified portal.
Ø The employer should use his login to add all the branches/locations of the establishment in the Form SA.
Ø The period of posting of employees at various branches/locations can be declared by the employer by using the "Member Location Mapping" option under the “Establishment" tab in the employer's portal. This can be done either by entering data on the screen one by one or in bulk by uploading a file. The employers may be informed about this facility and advised to use it.
CONCLUSION:
It is mandatory on the part of all such multiple location establishments to fill the details of location-wise employees which will enable the concerned offices to view the location of the employees in the ECR through field office interface of a unified portal.
