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 for your suggestions.

Obviously, in case of employment injury, ie, accident occurring on duty, the employer is bound to give leave with salary till 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 accident during the course of employment and that cannot be predicted and will depend upon the nature of injury. And it is always good if you leave it as such saying that as per 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.
