COIDA Compliance Services

Register with the Compensation Fund, submit your returns of earnings and keep your letter of good standing valid — without the admin headache.

COIDA compliance

Protect your employees — and your contracts.

The Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) requires employers to register with the Compensation Fund and contribute, so employees are covered for work-related injuries and diseases.

Staying compliant means registering, submitting annual returns of earnings and paying assessments. Many clients and tenders also require a valid letter of good standing as proof.

A valid letter of good standing is often required before you can start work on a contract.
