Dear seniors, Namaste!

Your expert advice is solicited, please.

1- One of our employees asked for leave on 16th January 2024, and he was granted leave for 2 days (verbally approved), meaning for 17th January 2024 and 18th January 2024.

2- On the 17th of January evening, we came to know that around 6:00 PM, the employee met with a road accident near his home, and he passed away.

3- In January 2024, how many days of salary will he be eligible for? Will it be up to 18th January?

4- While crediting his salary, should we use the same bank account or should we ask for other bank account details (especially his wife's account)?

5- What other things should I keep in mind?

Please advise.

Hi,

Till the date of death, the salary should be processed to enable the employee's nominee to claim all PF benefits (PF/Pension/EDLI) if your organization is covered under PF.

You should not credit the salary now. Make a full and final settlement and wait for the nominee to submit all documents, including the legal heir certificate, marriage certificate, proof of marriage, and all other supporting documents.
