Compensation
WCA and COIDA compliance for employers in Louis Trichardt and across South Africa: registration, Return of Earnings, assessments and letters of good standing.
Protect Your Workforce and Your Business
The Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) requires employers to protect their employees against workplace injuries and occupational diseases. Our Workmen’s Compensation Assistance (WCA) services make your COIDA obligations simple and protect your business from legal and financial risk.
TechAcc's Comprehensive WCA Services
TechAcc Accountants in Louis Trichardt helps businesses meet every COIDA obligation, saving you time and reducing the admin: The Compensation Fund falls under the Department of Employment and Labour.
1. COIDA Registration
- Every employer in South Africa must register with the Compensation Fund. We gather and verify your documents, submit your application and make sure you receive your registration number without delay.
2. Annual Return of Earnings (ROE)
- Registered employers must submit a Return of Earnings every year. We calculate your earnings accurately, prepare and submit your ROE on time and help you avoid penalties and interest.
3. WCA Compliance Audits
- We identify gaps in your COIDA compliance, check that your payroll records and employee classifications match Compensation Fund requirements and recommend practical fixes.
4. Compensation Fund Claims Management
- We guide employers and employees through the claims process, make sure every document is submitted correctly and liaise with the Compensation Fund to speed up approvals.
5. Assessment Fee Calculations and Payments
- Your annual assessment is based on your Return of Earnings. We check the calculation so you do not overpay or underpay, and make sure payment is made on time.
6. Letter of Good Standing
- A Letter of Good Standing proves your business is COIDA compliant and is often needed for tenders and contracts. We apply for and renew it, and keep your compliance status up to date.
7. Penalties and Appeals
- If you face penalties, interest or a dispute with the Compensation Fund, we help resolve it, negotiate on your behalf and put a plan in place to prevent it happening again.
8. Employee Training and Awareness
- We provide training on employees' rights and responsibilities under COIDA, and guidance on reporting workplace injuries and diseases promptly.

WCA and COIDA FAQs
Where can I get a COIDA letter of good standing in Louis Trichardt?
TechAcc Accountants in Louis Trichardt helps employers register with the Compensation Fund, submit their Return of Earnings and obtain or renew their letter of good standing.
Is WCA a legal requirement?
Yes. Under COIDA, every employer with one or more employees must register with the Compensation Fund, submit an annual Return of Earnings and pay the assessment.
What is the Return of Earnings (ROE)?
The ROE is an annual declaration of the earnings paid to your employees. The Compensation Fund uses it to calculate your assessment fee. Late submission leads to penalties.
Why can't I download my letter of good standing?
Usually because an ROE is outstanding, an assessment is unpaid or your details on the system are incomplete. We can find the cause and get it resolved.
What does WCA cover?
COIDA covers employees for injuries and diseases that arise from their work, including medical expenses, temporary and permanent disability benefits and, in the event of death, benefits for dependants.
