Hi all,

Is there any specific provision for Accidental Leaves other than ESIC? Mine is an IT services company dealing in mobility application development, and we are planning to introduce some Accidental Leave policy for our employees.

Look forward to your suggestions.

Obviously, in the case of employment injury, i.e., an accident occurring on duty, the employer is bound to give leave with salary until he is fully recovered. This is provided in the Employees' Compensation Act. In respect of those covered under ESI, naturally, the task of paying leave salary, etc., is taken care of by the ESI Corporation.

In order to cover those not under ESI, you need not have a separate leave policy because if you frame a policy, it should specifically state the number of days' leave an employee will be entitled to have in case of an accident during the course of employment, and that cannot be predicted and will depend upon the nature of the injury. It is always good if you leave it as such, stating that as per the law in force.

Thanks for the precise description. However, is there any provision by law to grant leave and salary if an employee is not on duty, meets with an accident.
