One of our staff suffering from cancer, expired on Sunday,9/9/12 noon. he was on an extension of service when he expired, and now his full & final settlement is to be done. since he has been working for a long time with the company the company has paid a good amount for his treatment & and other types of support are provided to him. In his F & F the date of his release should be what? will he be entitled to some sort of death benefit? Since I have never dealt with any death case kindly guide me on the same.

Dear Piyali,
Since employee is no more with the company, you need to consider Date of Death as last working day. (If your Sick leave policy is allowing you to grant special sick leave till death of employee you can grant / permit)
You need to pay wages till last day. Annual benefits LTA & Leave encashment you can pay. Gratuity if any you need to pay alongwith F&F.
If your company has Term Insurance, then you can pay Term Insurance.
If you have medicalim then claim benefits under mediclaim and pay to employees family.
Help family members to file PF withdrawal and Pension forms.
You need to take affidavit from employee’s spouse to declare her & children’s as legal nominees. In case of parents also would like to claim for all benefits then they can claim by the heirs of the assured in accordance with the Law of succession governing them.

Dear Chitti
Funeral expenses are not mandatory I think, however it can be paid as per company’s policy.
In the ESI Act there is a provision for its reimbursement from the ESI department if the employee is covered under the Act.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please send a format of full and final settlement. Actually, one of our staff members has passed away, and we need to make the final payment to her family. However, we now require a full and final settlement letter from the PF office. Kindly assist us with the format.
