My office hours are from 9 to 6, and I was involved in a car accident around 8:20. I would like to know if it is my company's responsibility to provide financial support for my medical expenses, or if I am required to cover all the expenses myself.

Company's responsibilities lie when you are at work and on the premises. Anything beyond that is your responsibility. Anyways, if you meet an accident due to your fault, why should the company be penalized.

Were you heading towards office for work? What about insurance cover from company or ESIC cover??

In non-work hour time its not the company’s reponsibility. If company looks after your Insurance(Group or Individual); or ESI please check into that..

Hi! I am a teacher. I have worked in an institution for 13 years. I was promised by the management that they would give me gratuity when I left the school in 2009. It's almost 8 years, and I haven't received my gratuity till now. I have sent them many letters of reminders for the same. Please guide me. What should I do in this case?

It may be late, but visit the school personally and then follow up with a visit to the local labor officer. You are entitled to gratuity and should claim it. The delay is supported by your letters asking for the release of payment.

1. Mr. Ved_Tomar ji, as per your thread, the accident occurred at about 8:20 AM, whereas your duty time starts at 9:00 AM. Can you indicate whether at the time of the accident you were going to your office/place of work or somewhere else? Was any police report regarding the accident lodged or filed?

2. In your establishment, is the ESI Act, 1948 applicable? If so, are you considered an employee within the meaning of the said Act, and is your management ensuring compliance concerning you?

This is dependent on company policy. I am not sure if you were on duty and if so discuss with your HR dept.

When a person is heading towards his office for duty the theory of notional extension of work place can apply. One needs to consider this angle also before saying company has no liability.
