How Should We Compensate an Employee's Family After a Workplace Accident?

One of our employees met with an accident during the course of employment and passed away in the hospital. He was not covered under ESIC. Could you please guide me on how to compensate his dependents? He was 33 years old and was drawing a gross salary of Rs. 16,000 per month. Additionally, we had insured him under a Workers' Compensation Policy.
