ESI contributions, eligibility-checked every run
Flocci Work Suite checks each employee's gross pay against the ₹21,000 ESI eligibility limit every payroll run, then deducts 0.75% from the employee and accrues 3.25% from the employer automatically. After finalization it exports the ESIC return file for the portal.
Eligibility is dynamic, so the check is too
ESI applies only to employees under the ₹21,000 gross threshold, and gross pay moves with LOP, increments and components. The engine re-evaluates eligibility per employee per run, so people entering or exiting coverage are handled by rule, not by someone remembering.
Exact statutory rates
Contributions are computed at the statutory 0.75% employee and 3.25% employer rates on gross wages, to the paisa, using decimal-safe arithmetic — the same discipline the EPF and TDS engines use.
Return file after lock
Finalized runs export the ESIC contribution file from locked payroll data, so what you upload to the ESIC portal is exactly what was paid.
Frequently asked questions

- What ESI rates does it apply?
- The statutory rates: 0.75% of gross wages from the employee and 3.25% from the employer.
- Can I file ESI returns from the exported data?
- Yes — after finalization the ESIC return file is exported from the locked run data, ready for the employer portal.
