Hello ! One of our Employees hurt his 3 fingers while working on Press Machine in our Factory . He is covered under ESIC and P.F from Day 1 of his Joining i.e November 2016 . His Accident Happened 3 days back .
He was given Immediate medical attention in ESIC and was discharged after the medical procedure on the same date.
The Police since informed from the ESIC hospital are harassing us saying that an FIR will be filed and have also seemingly asked the worker to demand compensation and are asking for money to reach a settlement .
Advice (A) Since our Factory is covered under the Factories Act and the safety mechanism was in place on the machine like sensors and Dual hand operation switch ; can the police file an F.I.R ?
(B) Is the factory liable to pay the worker any compensation when he is registered under ESIC and his accident Report has been filled under the ESIC act ?
