One of our employee met an accident and got fracture in arm while going back to home after his duty in local train . Is employer liable for compensation as per workmen compensation act and how to calculate his compensation?
Pls reply asap.

Hi Gaurav,
If the injury is at his work spot ie., injury occured during the course of employment then only the management is liable to pay compensation, this is applicable wrt the employees covered under ESI scheme also.
If the management is so employee oriented then you can cover all your employees under the Group personal accident policy where in all the employees are covered 24 x 7. Any insurance companies like general / oriental / new india are issuing these policies.
On humanitarian ground the management wants to support then they can extend the support other wise there is no liability.
I believe you are clear.

Dear Mr. Arora.
What do you think should be the answer? The members are eagerly waiting for your reply.
