https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=307874 Workers engaged in constructing additional factory buildings for expansion fall within the wide definition of "employee" under Section 2(9) of the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948. The provision covers work that is incidental to, preliminary to, or connected with the factory, and the Act's contribution scheme contemplates even casual or part-week employment.
