Sir, Please explain the above line with an example

03 October 2019 If incentive is paid Rs.5,000/- per month for each employee whether in the salary list or paid separately on a monthly basis it will attract ESI.

But the incentive is paid Rs.10,000/- on 01.04.19 and paid another Rs.15,000/- on 03.06.19, then ESI will not attract ( as the payment was made after 60 days)

If you don't busy Can you please explain the following lines with an example?
5.Reimbursement of expenses supported by bills and payment is paid by the employee
6. UN availed leave salary at the time of discharge
7. leave encashment

10 October 2019 Point no : 5 : If the employee on duty to outstation , he will eligible to get reimbursement of food, lodge and train/ bus etc. If that payment is made by the employer it will not come under ESI provided all the supporting documents received from employee
Point no 6 : If salary is paid for un availed leave at the time of resignation or retirement , ESI need not be paid for the same.
Point no 7 : Companies have the policy of giving payment for un availed leave every year during the service. if payment is made for the same ESI need not be paid.
