Navigating COIDA and Return of Earnings obligations can be challenging for employers, payroll departments, and HR teams. This practical webinar simplifies the compliance process by explaining the key requirements, common problem areas, and latest developments affecting employers in South Africa. Gain practical knowledge to manage submissions accurately, avoid unnecessary penalties, and maintain ongoing compliance with confidence.
COIDA compliance extends far beyond simply submitting an annual Return of Earnings. Employers are expected to correctly classify employees, calculate earnings accurately, manage injury-on-duty processes, maintain proper supporting records, and ensure that their organisations remain in good standing with the Compensation Fund.
This practical session provides a step-by-step understanding of the COIDA framework and the operational responsibilities that impact payroll, HR, finance, and compliance functions. Participants will explore how the CompEasy system works in practice, how to handle claims and supporting documentation, and how to reduce the risk of penalties, rejected submissions, disputes, and invalid Letters of Good Standing.
The webinar will also examine common compliance mistakes, practical workplace scenarios, remote and hybrid work considerations, and the latest legislative developments introduced through the COIDA Amendment Act. The focus throughout the session is on practical implementation, internal controls, and improving day-to-day compliance processes within the workplace.
