In case ESI is applicable then 1/2 and otherwise full wages are to be paid.

But injury should not have resulted due to negligence or violation of safety measures by the worker/ This condition must be satisfied.

If ESI is not applicable, the workman is entitiled to half month wages (25 % payable after every 15 days) under workmen's Compensation Act. This applies to all employees whether they are covered under the ESI Act or not.
