The Role, Responsibilities & Rights Of EPF Members

Introduction

The EPF Act 1951 was replaced in 1991 by a new and more comprehensive Act, with further amendments over the following years, the latest being “amendments 2007″ implemented 2007, 2008 and amendments 2011. Though it has been 60 years since the EPF came into existence, many employers have still not grasped the essential provisions of the law on their role, responsibilities and liabilities. Further with amendments to The Act from time to time, uncertainties and confusion reign amongst a considerable number of employers and they often face litigation, penalties and other difficulties in their dealing with the EPF. The same situation amongst employees on the other hand has deprived them of fully knowing and enjoying their rights, privileges and benefits available to them under the law.
