Dear Manjula,
When one employee is covered under ESIC and falls sick, the concerned dispensary issues him a certificate allowing him to rest depending on the sickness. One certificate is to be handed over at his office for their information, and another copy of the certificate is to be submitted to the concerned local office. After completion of his sick leave, the concerned Medical Officer will give him a fitness certificate, and he will receive monetary benefits from the ESIC local office. During the sick period, the office HR personnel will mark him as on ESI Leave. Hence, he is not eligible for sick leave. This is for your information.
Thank you.

There cannot be double compensation. SL, in addition to ESI sickness benefit, would be double benefit and is not to be allowed. Sickness benefit provided is as follows and is ample, so there is no need for SL in addition.
