Answer:
When calculating ESI, some of the components that include in an employee’s gross salary include Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance, City Compensatory Allowance, House Rent Allowance, Attendance & Overtime Pays, Meal Allowance etc.

However, does not include the components annual bonus, retrenchment compensation, encashment of leave and gratuity.

So annual bonus is not considered for ESI calculation.

Hi,

Salary regular components will attract for ESi calculation like Basic, HRA, FBP, Overtime etc. Components which are one time payment will not attract for ESI calculation like yearly Bonus, Incentives, Leave Encashment , Gratuity etc.

Hope with the above explanation your question is answered.

Need help on Annual Bonus.
We have declared Annual Bonus in September payout. After getting the email of Annual bonus, next week one of the employee resigned. Can we proceed with stopping the bonus disbursement as it was Annual part?
