What does employees compensation act tell when an employee on authorized leave (EL) got accident/death during leave period ? Need expert opinion......................
From India, Mumbai
An employer is liable to pay compensation under the Employees Compensation Act only when the death of the employee occurs during the course of employment and the dependents of an employee on leave, whether paid leave or not, will not get any benefits under the Act. At the same time, if the employee was away from the place of work on an official tour and died in a road accident, then the incident could be treated as death while on employment.

he is eligible for compensation as he was on earned leave for that he will be paid salary. so this will be treated as during employment only. That too he got advance information and sanction from the dept head, so he is eligible
