COIDA Compliance & Injury on Duty Support

Protect your employees and business with end-to-end Workman’s
Compensation solutions from iComply South Africa.

Workman’s Compensation is insurance that covers employees injured, disabled, or who die due to work-related incidents. It’s regulated by the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) and managed by the Compensation Fund under the Department of Employment and Labour.

What Does It Cover?

  • Medical expenses
  • Temporary or permanent disability
  • Loss of income during recovery
  • Funeral costs and death benefits
  • Pension or lump sums for serious injury

Who Must Register?

All employers with one or more employees must register with the Compensation Fund and pay annual levies based on wages and industry risk.

What is an IOD (Injury on Duty)?

An IOD is any injury or illness that occurs while performing work duties.

When an IOD Happens:

  1. Send the employee to an accredited doctor
  2. Report to the Department of Labour within 7 days
  3. Submit claim forms to the Compensation Fund
  4. Continue paying the employee (reimbursed later)

Why It Matters

  • Legal requirement – Non-compliance leads to fines
  • No registration = no claims
  • Reduces legal risk – Prevents employee lawsuits
