Basis: Average daily wage is computed here as Gross Wages ÷ 26. Gross benefit = Average Daily Wage × Eligible Days (leave period in weeks × 7). PF is deducted at 12% on the gross benefit where applicable. ESI benefit, where the employee is ESI-covered, is paid directly by ESI and does not route through this calculation. This is a simplified estimate — the Act's actual "average daily wage" is based on wages actually paid for days worked in the 3 calendar months preceding the leave; verify the precise figure against actual payroll records before disbursement.
