Hi, If the cause of death of the worker is due to the work or any inbuilt pressure by you then you will have to pay compensation to the worker. But if the death is proved in reports that it is self inflicted which is due to other physical, bodily issues, then there is no need to pay the compensation. Generally these things depend on the policies and the agreement signed by employer and employee. To claim compensation under the Act ,the following four conditions must be satisfied : Personal injury must have been caused to the workmen, Such injury must have been caused by an accident, The accident must have arisen out of and in the course of employment, and The injury must have resulted either in death of the employee or in his total or partial disablement for a period exceeding three days.
