COIDA Registration Benoni: What It Is and Why It's Not Optional

The Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) requires every South African employer to register with the Compensation Fund. It funds compensation for employees injured, made ill, or killed as a result of their work. If you employ one or more workers, even part time or domestic staff, registration is a legal requirement, not an option.

Failing to register is a criminal offence. Unregistered employers face fines, penalties, and personal liability if an employee is injured on the job. We handle the full registration process for you, from R450.

COIDA Registration vs. Return of Earnings, They're Different Steps

These get confused often, and mixing them up leads to businesses either skipping a required step or paying for the wrong service.

COIDA Registration A once-off registration when you first employ staff, giving your business a Compensation Fund reference number. This is the service on this page.
Return of Earnings An annual declaration, filed every year after registration, of your actual and estimated payroll. See COIDA Return of Earnings →

If you're already registered and just need this year's annual filing, that's the Return of Earnings service, not this one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register for COIDA if I only have one employee?
Yes. Registration is required as soon as you employ one or more workers, including part time or domestic staff, regardless of how small your business is.
What happens if I never registered and I've had staff for a while?
Unregistered employers face fines and personal liability if an employee is injured on the job. It's worth regularising your position as soon as possible rather than waiting for it to become a problem.
What's a Letter of Good Standing and do I need one?
It's proof your COIDA registration and payments are up to date. Most tenders and many client contracts require it before they'll work with you.
I'm already registered, why does this page not cover what I need?
If you're already registered, what you likely need is the annual Return of Earnings instead, a separate, recurring filing. See our Return of Earnings page for that service.
How much does COIDA registration cost?
Our fee is R450, a once-off charge covering the full registration process.
