Method and assumptions

The 50% rule: where components marked “Excluded (counts toward 50%)” exceed 50% of total remuneration, the excess is added back into the wage base. This mirrors the proviso to the definition of wages under the Code on Wages, 2019, which the Social Security Code adopts for ESIC.
“Excluded (NOT in 50% test)” takes an item out of wages without letting it affect the 50% test, typically used for gratuity and retrenchment compensation.
Eligibility is a simple monthly check of the ESIC wage base against the ceiling. Actual coverage also depends on contribution periods: an employee who crosses the ceiling mid-period continues to contribute until the end of that contribution period.
Overtime is included when computing the contribution payable, but is disregarded when testing whether an employee is within the wage ceiling. Treat the overtime row accordingly for each purpose.
