Domestic employees will now be entitled to compensation if they are injured or contract diseases while on duty

Apr 12, 2021 | Taxation Blog

With effect from 10/03/2021, ALL employers of Domestic employees are required to register with the Department of Compensation for Occupational Injury and Diseases (COIDA) and submit the necessary annual returns.

This means that Domestic employees will now be entitled to compensation if they are injured or contract diseases while on duty.

This is also in line with Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) where any employee (including a domestic worker) who works for you for more than 24 hours per month must be registered for UIF.
