Dear All,
There was a road accident near Hoskote, Bangalore, where a private bus and a KSRTC bus were involved, resulting in more than 15 passengers losing their lives, including 4 of our employees. The Labour Minister, Labour Commissioner, Deputy Labour Commissioner, and Labour Inspector were present at the hospital when the deceased bodies were being identified.
I am reaching out with a significant issue. It's an emergency, and I kindly request your assistance in ensuring that the families of the employees who tragically passed away in the accident, and who were contracted with our company as principal employers, receive the maximum benefits. We have already covered the funeral expenses and ambulance costs. However, we also need to ensure that these employees are compensated under ESI. Your suggestions in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everyone,
While joining others to condole the incident, it's also nice to see offers of direct help from the members. I guess that's what makes CiteHR different.
@Ramkishore--I am sure you will get the right and accurate advice from the members. All the best.

First of all, there are a few issues that need to be clarified:
1) As you mentioned, this was a road accident involving two vehicles maintained by the government authority.
2) The four individuals who lost their lives were employees in your company; therefore, they are considered employees on your behalf.
3) At the time of the accident, they were not employed, which implies they were not working during the incident. If they were deemed to be under employment, standard employment laws would apply.
4) This was a public incident that tragically affected the public, including your employees.
5) In such public incidents, responsibility falls on the governmental authorities.
6) The law operates impartially and without emotion, ensuring equal treatment for all victims, including your employees.
Hence, any compensation determined by the authorities or judiciary will apply equally to all victims without favoritism.
7) Regarding compensation from the employer or company, employment laws provide clear guidelines.
Should the employer wish to offer additional compensation beyond legal requirements, such actions are encouraged by the law. While the law mandates a minimum compensation amount, any voluntary amounts exceeding this threshold are permissible.
The case is likely already under investigation, and you may submit an application on behalf of all victims to seek additional compensation or damages, including pursuing legal avenues if necessary.
I hope this explanation clarifies matters to a reasonable extent. Please feel free to raise any further concerns for discussion.

BSSV has raised the right questions for you to analyze your situation right now. More importantly, you should be worrying about the criminal cases that may be filed by the Labour department against your MD, directors, etc., under various provisions that provide such action. Do not waste your time thinking about how that can be possible. What you need to do is watch out for the police trying to act on these complaints against your higher officials. You need to get in touch with a labor lawyer who can handle such a situation. This may not look appropriate to say in normal times, but in the given emergency, I need to inform you that we/our team have handled such situations all these years. Given your situation, it needs preemptive action from your side. We are available to help you; please communicate in case of further action.

At the time of the accident, were they on duty, meaning were they coming to the factory or performing any work for the factory? If yes, then they need to follow the guidelines outlined in our employment act. However, if they were not on duty, then the company cannot take any action; they can only provide a sum of money as a goodwill gesture to the employees. For more details, please contact 9676771014.
