Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs: COIDA Full Compliance Package
How do I get a Letter of Good Standing from COIDA?
You must register your company, submit your COIDA assessments, pay all due amounts, and then apply through the Compensation Fund portal.
What is COIDA compliance?
It means your company is registered, your annual assessment is submitted and paid, and you have an up-to-date Letter of Good Standing.
How much does it cost to get a COIDA certificate?
The certificate itself is free. You pay assessment fees based on your payroll and industry risk rating.
Are COIDA and WCA the same?
COIDA is the Act. WCA is the registration and compliance process under that Act. The terms are often used interchangeably.
How much is COIDA per employee?
It varies based on salary and risk classification. Rates are published annually by the Compensation Fund.
How long does RMA take to pay out?
RMA (Rand Mutual Assurance) payouts vary by claim type but can take 7–30 working days depending on documentation.
How much does IOD pay?
The Compensation Fund typically pays 75% of an employee’s earnings for temporary disability, and additional compensation for permanent injury.
How much compensation for a shoulder injury at work?
This depends on the severity and whether it leads to permanent disability. Compensation is based on loss of earnings and medical costs.
Is IOD part of sick leave?
No. Injury on Duty (IOD) leave is separate from sick leave and should be processed under COIDA claims.
How long after injury can you claim IOD?
You should report and file the claim as soon as possible — ideally within 7 days of the incident.
Does going to the dentist count as sick leave?
Only if you’re booked off by a registered healthcare practitioner. Routine appointments may not qualify.
What happens if you are medically unfit for work?
You may be entitled to compensation, retrenchment benefits, or disability depending on your contract, injury, and assessment outcome.
