CLRA Vendor Compliance Checklist for Principal Employers
2026-03-29 · 7 min
Principal employers are statutorily liable for wages and benefits of contract workmen if contractors default. A monthly vendor compliance check protects you from this exposure.
Documents to collect monthly
Wage register, attendance, PF ECR, ESI challan, PTax challan, bonus / leave registers and statutory remittance proofs.
On-site checks
Verify deployment vs. invoice, conduct random worker interviews and reconcile headcount with biometric data.
Red flags
Cash wage payments, mismatched UANs, expired CLRA licence and contractor delays in remittance.
