Whether Interim Wages Paid To An Employee Included In Term Of Wages Under ESI Act

Last updated: 26 December 2022
Quick Summary
The Supreme Court has ruled that interim wages paid to employees must be included in the definition of 'wages' under the Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Act. This decision clarifies that such payments, often made pending wage revisions, are not ex-gratia or gifts but form part of an employee's remuneration. Consequently, employers are liable to pay ESI contributions on these interim wage amounts.
