Employees Covered Under ESI Are Eligible Under Sick Leaves Of Company Policy Or Not

Greetings One and All!
I am new to the blog
I am working as a HR Trainee in a private company
I have a query regarding, whether the employees covered under ESI are eligible for sick leaves or not under company policy?
Kinldy let me know on this
Thanks & Regards

whatever be the company policy, if anyone who is covered under esic he is not elgible for sick leave as because sickness benefit is already provided him/her by esic itself.

Anusuya,
Acts are for minimum as the provisons are in ESI also , there is no restriction for over and above facilities given to employees.

Thank you for the information
But let me know is there a prescribed section under any act saying that sick leaves are not given to employees covered under ESIC, if so could you please share it
