Who is eligible for the program?
In South Africa, all employees can apply for Compensation Fund (COID). In effect, this includes full-time and part-time permanent and temporary employees.
However, independent contractors, freelancers, and freelancers are not covered by COID. Indeed, these are not considered employees.
Employers are responsible for registering their employees with the COID. Also, employees are required by law to make required contribution payments to COID.
Members of the South African National Defense Force and the South African Police Service are not covered by COID. These have compensation schemes.
The worker can resort to COID if the injury or illness arises during work. Those who are injured or ill must quickly report it to their employer.
