COIDA / Compensation Fund

Description

Compensation Fund Registration & Active Letter of Good Standing

• In South Africa, any business that employs one or more workers must register with the Compensation Commissioner under the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA). Compliance with COIDA protects employers from civil liability claims in the event of workplace accidents or occupational diseases.
• Furthermore, an active **COIDA Letter of Good Standing** is a compulsory requirement for almost all government tenders, private corporate vendor listings, construction sites (CIDB requirements), and logistics contracts.
• Famouz Consultants handles the entire administrative process—from initial Compensation Fund registration and annual Return of Earnings (ROE) calculations to securing your official Letter of Good Standing.
