1. COID Registered: You must be COID Registered and have a COID Number to prove it (we can assist with your COID Compliance and number).
2. Returns of Earnings: All Employers who are registered at the Compensation Fund, need to Submit and Pay their Annual Fees. Without successful submission and payment of these annual fees, the Employer will not obtain their LOGS. This process is sometimes time consuming and complicated. We can assist you in a faster and professional manner with this. If you still need to do this, request consultation below.

To apply for most Contracts and Tenders in South Africa, your Company will have to submit a COIDA Certificate application. This Certificate and/or Letter states that you are in good standing with the Compensation Commissioner (COIDA) and you have met all their requirements.

A Letter of Good Standing is an official letter that proves you are COID registered and up-to-date with your payments to the Compensation Fund.

The reason why Tenders and Contracts so often require you to have a Letter of Good Standing is simply to make sure you’re taking full responsibility of your employees and to make sure you’re authorized to operate legally.

If you’re not COID registered or you’re not in good standing with the Compensation Fund, your employees aren’t covered by the Compensation Fund in the case of any work-related accidents in terms of medical expenses or compensation in the case of permanent injury or death.
