Seeking Guidance on Claiming Compensation and ESIC Pension for My Late Father

I'm reaching out to gather information regarding compensation and ESIC pension entitlements for my late father, who tragically passed away recently. He had been with G4S since 1994, serving as a dedicated head guard. Sadly, he met with an accident on his way to a client location, and despite efforts, he passed away two days later in the hospital.

Could anyone kindly advise me on navigating the process of claiming compensation from his employer and understanding the ESIC pension benefits he might be entitled to? Any guidance or information would be deeply appreciated during this difficult time.

Very sad to hear about the loss of your dad. May his soul Rest In Peace.

ESI

You need to approach the concerned person at G4S for the submission of ESIC claims for deceased persons along with necessary supporting documents. Later, you need to follow up with the authorities for the pension amount.

EPF

Your father shall be covered under EPF as well, and G4S shall support in the claims of EPF accumulation amount, Pension under EPS, as well as the Insurance amount, which is not less than Rs. 2,50,000/- and a maximum of Rs. 7,00,000/-.

Other compensation from the employer

Gratuity - The employer needs to settle the gratuity amount as per the years of service.

Unpaid wages - The employer needs to settle the wages that are due for the period he worked.

Leave Encashment - Any unutilized leaves shall be encashed.

Insurance - There might be possibilities of Insurance benefits under GPA/GTL; if they exist, then you should claim those benefits as per the policy.

It is very sad to hear about the demise of your father. It is even more unfortunate to discover that an employee who has dedicated 30 years to an employer is still under the ESI scheme! What exactly are the employers, G4S, doing with the annual increases they demand from their customers? A person under ESI should have a salary of less than Rs 21,000, correct?

Please ensure that the company has sent the accident report to ESIC on time and that the process is underway.
