A resident sales rep has informed that he met with an accident while on duty and is claiming reimbursement and paid holidays. How do you verify this since he is the only employee in that city? What law pertains to this aspect?
Thank you.

Hi Birenbi,
It is up to the employee to verify his claim in the first instance. He should support his claim by producing a police accident report and a medical report; only then can you approve expenses incurred, etc.
I trust the above helps.

Hello Birenbi,
Further to what Harsh mentioned about the Police & Medical Reports, please get the details of the accident from the employee. Did he/she have any fractures or any other physical conditions that justify the paid holidays? You can then request the X-Ray/CT Scan reports to verify the information in the Medical Reports (cross-check with your company's doctor). Relying solely on those reports may not be advisable since Medical Reports can be 'arranged' throughout the country.
A few months ago, we required photos to be sent in a case where an individual claimed to have had an accident, suffered a hand fracture, and was on plaster/sling, in addition to providing Medical Reports and X-Rays.
