Which HR services do Surat businesses typically buy?

Manpower supply and contract staffing for textile and diamond units, PF and ESIC consulting as businesses formalise, compliance support for processing houses undergoing buyer audits, payroll for piece-rate and incentive-based workforces, and engineering recruitment for the Hazira industrial belt.

Are diamond and textile workers covered by PF and ESIC?

Yes, once the unit reaches 20 employees for PF and 10 for ESIC, regardless of piece-rate payment. Wages must be recorded per worker and contributions paid on them. Enforcement has tightened, and many units now use consultants to regularise coverage.

How do Surat employers manage post-festival worker attrition?

Common measures include return bonuses paid after Diwali and Holi, travel coordination with labour contractors from source states, hostel accommodation and formal employment with PF that rewards continuity. Staffing partners with a standing bench can bridge gaps during the return period.
