If the accident took place during the course of his employment, then the employer is liable to pay full wages till he resumes duty. In such case the leave is called accident leave. No need to avail SL or any other leave.

This is as per any law ? Can members quote the legal requirements as given above ? I have a feeling that this could be a legacy from many companies... Regards

If the employee is covered under the ESI, then the leave shall be without pay and the ESI will compensate the loss of pay. If he is an uncovered employee by reason of getting salary of more than Rs 10000, then it becomes the responsibility of the employer to allow him leave with pay. In case of workers working in the factories and those specified in the Schedule II of the Workmen's Compensation Act, the employer is bound to pay compensation for temporary disability ( which has lasted for more than three days). For others there is no specific provision in labour laws which makes the employer liable to do something. Therefore, in such situations, the understanding between the employer and the employee shall be looked into. It is often found that in such occasions, the employer will take care of employee according to the personal relationship which exits between them. The gravity of accident and the situation which led to such accident also play a lead role in this regard.

If ccovered under ESI, the employee will get the benefits from ESI Corporation.
If not covered under ESI, he would get benefits as prescribed under workmen's Compensation Act.
Generally all emploiymnmts are covered under this.

Dear All,

Can anyone provide information on the legal requirements regarding "accident leave," if any? The processes mentioned above are typically based on individual company policies, but are there any specific Acts or Rules that mandate paid holidays?

Hello Ramesh,

Can anyone tell me what happens if an employee has an accident during work and is absent from duty for ten days? After the absence, when the employee rejoins duty, is he eligible for full pay, half pay, or will it be adjusted against any special leave? Kindly advise.

Thank you.

EC Act is applicable to employees in schedule ¡¡ of the Act and who are not covered under ESI,ie with salary above Rs21000/pm in implemented area.For those in areas not covered by ESI the salary is immaterial if he is an `employee'.
There is no law for payment of full salary.EC Act mandate reimbursement of expenses for treatment also.
