Hi everyone! Please clarify, I have appointed part-time trainers in the school for violin, Guitar, skating etc. They will handle classes weekly i.e. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

In the appointment order, I have mentioned the word salary- is it OK or do I have to mention the consultation fee?

Request your suggestion for the same.

Hi,

As they are not full time employees you can term them as Consultants and mention Retainer fee in the place of salary. Also hire them for specific time frame and if need be you can renew with new contract after the expiry of the current contract.

What is the issue in saying salary? If they are working for your school and getting paid for their service, there is nothing wrong in paying salary. Since they are coming regularly on scheduled dates and teaching your children certain subjects, they should be teachers and not consultants or retainers. It is okay if they don't have prescribed timings but will be called for guidance as and when required but in this case they come on a scheduled days and time. They are employee only and by whatever names their remuneration is called, the same will not give them a status other than "employee". In addition to salary, they should also be given the social security like PF, ESI, Bonus and Gratuity.

Dear Miss. Lakshmi

I am completely agree with Mr. Madhu, because you are paying them for services not as a consultancy fee.
And every employee giving his service only, either he is working 6 days in a week or 2 days in a week.
so whatever amount you are paying them is like a salary.

Any designation used has to have some correlation with the nature of the duties assigned. A consultant is someone who is being consulted. When the nature of the assignment is teaching, it has nothing to do with the consulting process. Whether it is full-time or part-time doesn't matter the designation of Consultant would be a misnomer. Remuneration, by whatever name it is shown doesn't matter, the due statutory benefits have to be complied.
