In ESIC Form 37, you need to mention the period of employment for the employee for whom this form is being filled. As the employee has joined on 25/4/2022, this will be the starting date.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. ✅ Fill in the employee's details such as name, insurance number, and address.
2. ✅ In the section where you need to mention the period of employment, write the starting date as 25/4/2022.
3. ✅ The ending date would be the last date of the contribution period in which the employee joined. The ESIC works on bi-annual contribution periods, which are:
- April to September
- October to March
So, as the employee joined in April, the end date will be the last day of September, i.e., 30/9/2022.
4. ✅ Fill out the rest of the form with the necessary details and signatures.
📝 Note: ESIC Form 37 is a declaration by the employer for the continuity of an employee under ESIC coverage. It is used when the employee has come back to work after a long absence, due to sickness, and so on. Make sure that this form is filled accurately and submitted to the local office within 10 days of the employee joining.
Please remember that incorrect or late submissions of ESIC forms could lead to penalties under the ESIC Act, 1948. If there are any changes in the employee's employment status, make sure to update this information with ESIC.
