Domestic Employers Registration Application
Who must register?
All South African Households who employ Domestic workers,
Why you must register?
New ruling by the Constitutional Court ordered that all Domestic employees are now included and covered under the COID Act.
(Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act) and therefore you as a Household employer MUST register, it is a new law and a legal requirement. Your personal insurance/indemnity does not cover your Domestic worker in the event of an injury on duty.
What will the cover include for the Domestic employees:
- Temporary total disablement (TTD)
- Permanent disablement lump sum
- Permanent disablement pension
- Funeral expenses
- Widow’s lump sum award
- Widow’s pension award
- Child pension award
- Partial dependency award
- Wholly dependency award
- Orthotics and Rehabilitation
- Bursaries for youth
- Return to work Programme
- Assistive devices
- Rehabilitation and re-integration
- Medical Benefits
- Medical claims
- Re-opening of the claim
- Chronic medication
The risk if you don’t register?
In short: COID is basically an Insurance for injuries and diseases of employees sustained in the workplace. The benefits versus the risk cannot be compared. No one household has the means to pay the dependents of your Domestic worker a pension, all related costs or benefits that is covered by COID, should their breadwinner suffer a fatal injury. But every household will be able to pay an annual premium for such cover under the COID Act.
Civil Action can be instituted against you should your Domestic worker.
