Labour contractor - service charges

6581 views 4 replies

Labour contractors will be paid service charges, normally as a % of bill amount. It is observed that in some companies service charges are being paid on total bill amount viz., Wages, Employer's contribution of ESI,PF, Bonus, Leave encashment etc. While in some companies it will be calculated on wages only. Wish to know, Is there any specific rule or guideline for calculating service charges of labour contractor.

Service charges to be paid on wages only. Statutory payments like PF, ESIC, bonus to be excluded for service charge.

Thank you. Just for clarification, whether your suggestion is based on any rules / guidelines or on practices. Please clarify.
