Employees' Compensation Act, 1923
The Employee’s Compensation Act, 1923 requires certain employers to provide financial compensation to eligible employees who suffer injury, disability or death due to an accident arising out of and during employment. The compensation amount depends on factors such as the employee’s wages, age, nature of injury and degree of disability. In the event of an employee’s death, the compensation is payable to eligible dependants.
Employers must report applicable workplace accidents, maintain proper employment and wage records, and pay compensation within the prescribed period. They must also inform employees about their compensation rights at the time of employment. Proper compliance helps protect employees and their families while reducing the employer’s risk of penalties, interest, disputes and legal proceedings.
