Temporary disablement refers to such kinds of disablement which are not permanent in nature. Being temporary in nature, the employee can come to office and resume work when his temporary disablement comes to an end. Since temporary disablement does not cause any reduction in his earning capacity, the employer is not liable to pay any compensation for that. The Act also says that employer is liable to compensate only when the disability lasts at least for three days. Normally, if an employee meets with a disablement for a short period, he will be given leave with pay and his medical expenses will be taken care of.

Section 4 (d) of the Employees Compensation Act(formerly Workmens Compensation Act) prescribes the quantum of compensation payable to workmen who is injured in an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment and as a result of the accident had suffered temporary disablement whether total or partial. This compensation is called "half monthly payment". Even though the employer might have given leave with pay and had met the medical expenses of the injured employee, still he is liable to pay the compensation specified in section 4(d) of the ECS. Section 2(g) and section 2(l) of the ECS Act define temporary partial disablement and temporary total disablement.
