A.Dear Client
According to the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, companies with a certain number of employees are required to provide PF facilities. It appears that your company might not be fulfilling this legal obligation. As per the Payment of Bonus Act, companies with a certain number of employees are mandated to pay an annual bonus to their employees. If your company falls under this category, it should provide bonuses as per the legal provisions. The law requires employers to compensate employees for working extra hours. This compensation could be in the form of extra pay or additional time off. If your company is not providing this, it may be in violation of labor laws.
