To pay the provident fund to workers, employers typically calculate the contribution based on a percentage of the employee's salary, which may vary by country or organization. The calculated amount is then deposited into a designated provident fund account, often managed by a government agency or private fund manager. Employers are usually required to make these contributions on a regular basis, such as monthly, and provide employees with statements showing their accumulated funds. Compliance with local regulations and timely payments are essential to ensure workers receive their benefits.

The Provident Fund Act refers to legislation that governs the establishment and management of provident funds, which are retirement savings schemes designed to benefit employees. Typically, both employers and employees contribute a percentage of the employee's salary to the fund, which accumulates over time and is accessible upon retirement or under specific circumstances. In many countries, such as India, the Act includes provisions for the withdrawal of funds, interest rates, and the responsibilities of employers in managing these funds. The primary aim is to ensure financial security for employees after they retire.
