How to calculate Exemption from ESIC - in case employee has come only for 3 days in a month

How should the ESI be calculated in case employee has come only for 3 days in a month and for this particular period his earned gross is Rs.2117/- ?

Will he be exempted from ESIC employee contribution ?

Hi,

Why you want to exempt from ESI. Calculate ESI on the actual earned Gross salary ( 3 days)

If the notional wages, the wages he would have earned had he been employed for 30 days in the month, exceeds Rs 21000, you can exclude him from the coverage of ESI. This often happens on thee month of one's joining. If you cover him for the reason that his earnings is less than Rs 21000 due to the reason that he has worked only for a few days, then you will have to cover him till the end of the contribution period. Therefore, if his monthly gross is more than Rs 21000, it is better to exclude him from ESI.
