Enrolling Payees in Employee State Insurance

This chapter provides overviews of employee state insurance (ESI), ESI reports, and delivered ESI deductions, and discusses how to enroll payees in an ESI program.

Understanding ESI

ESI is a Social Security plan that is designed to provide subsidized or free medical assistance to employees and their dependents during the course of their employment, or if an employee becomes unable to work due to specific circumstances. With Global Payroll for India you can register payees under an ESI program and process the appropriate deductions during the normal payroll cycle.

With Global Payroll for India you can:

Ensure that all of the payees are registered per the ESI Act and capture beneficiary information.
Ensure that the deductions for contributions from payees are deducted from their pay each month.

Note. Enrolling payees in ESI is a manual process. The human resources department should ensure that the appropriate payees are enrolled in the ESI program.

Note. PeopleSoft delivers several queries that enable you to retrieve ESI information.

Understanding ESI Reports

As part of the ESI process, you need to generate and submit certain reports such as:

A remittance statement report that includes details on mandatory ESI contributions that were deducted for the contribution period by both the employer and the employee.
A new ESI registration report that identifies new payees that need to be issued identification numbers, so they can take advantage of the ESI benefits.
A terminated employees report that identifies payees who have terminated employment and who are not eligible for ESI contributions, and those not entitled to ESI due to the Act.

In this table, the first column combines the name and description of the delivered deductions. A (gc) in the row indicates that the deduction has an associated generation control element. A (po) indicates a post-processing formula, and (pr) indicates a pre-processing formula. The other four columns indicate the deductions calculation rule (Amount, Base x %, and so on).

These deductions may need to be modified to meet particular business requirements˙.

ESI

The ESI deduction has a calculation rule of base multiplied by percentage and is used to calculate the employee's contribution to ESI; the base is the accumulator ESI GROSS WAGES and the percentage is determined by the numeric variable ESI VR PYE PCT. The generation control element ESI GC ENROLL determines when the system processes this deduction.
ESI ER

The ESI ER deduction has a calculation rule of base multiplied by percentage and is used to calculate the employer's contribution to ESI; the base is the accumulator ESI GROSS WAGES and the percentage is determined by the numeric variable ESI VR ER PCT. The generation control element ESI GC ENROLL determines when the system processes this deduction.

Process Lists and Sections

The ESI and ESI ER deductions are members of the ESI SE ALL process section.

The ESI SE ALL section is included in the IN PL PAY and IN PL PAY BON process lists.

Viewing Delivered Elements

PeopleSoft delivers a query that you can run to view the names of all delivered elements designed for India. Instructions for running the query are provided in PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll 8.9 PeopleBook.
