ESI Benefits - employee has left the organisation one month before

sunnyjuneja
Can anyone guide one of my employee has left the organisation one month before but he has faced accident can he claim esi benefits
Harsh Kumar Mehta
Sir, the employee who left the employment can avail medical facilities only and that too if he was eligible and till his eligibility in the relevant benefit period. The said left employee can discuss the issue with the Branch Office, ESIC to which he was attached.

If his ESIC account is still valid, he can claim the benefits.
As harsh said, the benefits continue till the end of the 6 month block (June and Dec I think)
The fact he does not work with you any more makes little difference.
The only problem I think is that ESIC covers accidents in course of employment. How will he fit the claim within those parameters

it depands on his date of joining in ESIC, if the employee is in contribution period, he may entitle for Claim.

hi,
the employee is eligible for treatment.
as you are asking now, probably he met with the accident by april or march month.
as you said he worked till previous month then that should be Feb.
he is eligible for treatment till dec 2016 provided he should have contributed to esi at-least 68 days during oct 2015 to feb 16.
reimbursement part may be difficult but for treatment I am sure that he can avail.
