Hi all, I'm new to this field and I'm wondering how Hospitalisation Leave is being administered for employees who are covered under the ESI Act.
1. Does the company still pay the employee wages during the period of hospitalisation? I've read in some places that the company does not need to pay the employee during the period of absence as the wages will come from ESI. Is this true?
2. If part 1 is true, how many days does ESI pay wages for such cases?
Your prompt assistance will be appreciated. Thank you.

The Organization will not pay the salary during the employee sickness if employee is covered ESIC. I think it dependance doctors report. i think there is no such clause.

Hi, does this mean that the days when the employee is absence will be considered as leave without pay?

ESIC Leave and Salary Payment Process
ESIC leave will be granted for 2 weeks by a prescribed certificate from the local ESIC doctor where the employee is registered. After 2 weeks, if the local doctor finds that the employee is still sick, he will refer the case to the Assistant Medical Officer of the local ESI hospital. Once the employee is admitted to the ESIC hospital for treatment, the salary will be paid by the ESIC and not by the employer. The salary will be credited to his personal savings account.
