Hello, in India, if an employee is injured in an accident at the workplace and receives compensation under the Employee's Compensation Act, they typically cannot claim their regular salary separately for the period covered by the compensation. The Employee's Compensation Act, 1923 (previously known as the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, poppy playtime chapter 3) is the primary legislation in India that provides for compensation to employees and their dependents in case of work-related injuries. Under the provisions of this Act, the employer is liable to provide compensation to an employee who suffers an injury, disability, or death due to an accident arising out of and during the course of employment. The Employees State Insurance (ESI) Act, 1948 aims to provide all comprehensive social security benefits to employees in India. The Act covers areas such as medical benefits for employees and their dependents, maternity benefits, disablement benefits in case of an employee’s death due to employment-related reasons, etc.
