Hi,
I have 2 questions, one being on Medical Insurance, the other being on Pay Deductions in the event of excess Sick Leaves.
Our company is not registered under ESI, neither do we provide any medical insurance to our employees. Are we liable to compensate employees for accidents/maternity etc?
Our leave policy state an employee can take 7 Sick Leaves in a year. If an employee is sick for more than 7 days and has a medical report to support his illness, can the company deduct pay for excess leaves?
Thanks,
Divya

1) You are liable to compensate the employee if your company is not registered under ESI, and also have not availed any medical insurance to the employees.
2) It all depends on the company's leave policy. Some companies permit clubbing of SL with other leaves and some do not. In cases,where companies do not allow clubbing of SL with other leave, they treat the leave as leave without pay.
