Workman's Compensation

The Compensation Fund is the fund from which claims are paid to employees that are hurt in the cause of duty.

All employers who employ one or more workers in connection with their business or farming activities are required to register with the Compensation Fund.

How to Register with the Compensation Fund

Step 1: Fill in the form

Employers must fill in the W.As2 form. You can get the form at any labour centre or on the website – a copy is in your Personnel Administration File.

Employers must make sure that they complete all the questions on the form. If the Compensation Fund has to follow up on information that they did not complete, it may take a long time to be registered.

Step 2: Send in the form

When they send the form, employers must also include a copy of the registration certificate from the Registrar of Companies if they are a company or closed corporation; or their ID document, if they are sole owners of the business.

Employers can send the form by mailing it to:

PO Box 955

Pretoria
