09 August 2010 Every employee (including casual and temporary employees), whether employed directly or through a contractor, who is in receipt of wages upto Rs. 6,500 p.m. is entitled to be insured under the E.S.I. Act. However, apprentices engaged under the Apprentices Act are not entitled to the E.S.I. benefits. Coverage of part time employees under the ESI Act will depend on whether they have contract of service or contract for service with the employer. The former is covered whereas the latter are not covered under the E.S.I Act.
