Periodic, evidence-based audits of your contractors and service vendors, wages, PF, ESI, licences and records, so their non-compliance never becomes your liability.
A vendor compliance audit is an independent check of whether your contractors and service vendors meet their labour-law obligations, minimum wages, timely wage payment, PF and ESI coverage and deposits, valid licences and statutory records. Because the principal employer is liable for contractor defaults, regular vendor audits are a key risk control.
Security, housekeeping, facility, manpower and logistics vendors often employ hundreds of workers on your premises. Under the law, you are the principal employer, and you can be made to pay if they default on wages, PF or ESI.
Our vendor audits verify each contractor's statutory compliance against the law and your contract, grade every finding by risk, and track closure, giving procurement, HR and management a clear picture of vendor risk.
