Dear All
One of our Employee designated as Manager (Bills Realisation Department) died in a Road Accident after duty hours recently. His nature of work is of field work and he has to visit customers places for submission of invoices and realisation of the same.
After his normal working hours he went to his residence and from there he went to attend a family funcion. While returning in his bike he met with an accident around 10.00 p.m. and died in the hospital due to head injuries.
His basic salary is Rs.9000/- and gross is Rs.18500/-.
We do not have any accident cover for the employees and he is also not covered under ESI.
He has been working with us for the past 3 years and 9 months.
1. Is he eligible of gratuity for 4 years or upto his date of retirement. Our retirement age is 60 years and he was 49 years of age at the time of death? We do not have any tie up with insurance company for gratuity scheme.
2. His family is now requesting compensation amount from the company apart from his full and final. Does the company legally has to give any compensation apart from gratuity and other dues, if yes what is the amount to be given?
Kindly suggest
Regards
