Dear CiteHR family members,
As we know, the ESI wage ceiling is Rs. 15,000/-, which includes all regular wages and allowances up to Rs. 15,000/-. This raises a question: do attendance bonuses, shift allowances, and production incentives also count towards the ESI wage limit of Rs. 15,000? Our ESIC branch manager in the area claims that these components are included in the wage limit, but based on my understanding, these components should not be considered. Can you please provide clarification and share your views on this issue?
Thank you,
