WHAT DOES REGISTRATION WITH THE WCA MEAN?

The purpose of this WCA de-registration process is to de-register the employer with Workmen's Compensation where this is required. Situations where this will be necessary include where the business ceases its operations and is closing down. This process is conducted on behalf of the employer.

WHO NEEDS TO DO THIS?

This WCA de-registration process is intended for all companies who are closing down and need to be de-registered with Workmen's Compensation.

WHY IS REGISTRATION WITH THE WCA IMPORTANT?

This WCA de-registration process is important because when a business ceases operations and closes down or has no employees it must de-register with Workmen's Compensation in order to avoid incurring any penalties. When no further earnings are being generated it is important for Workmen's Compensation to be informed of this fact so that they understand the employer is no longer obliged to contribute to the Compensation Fund. This WCA de-registration process is conducted on behalf of the user who may not understand the process or have the resources to conduct the process and provides evidence to an inspector that an organisation has de-registered with Workmen's Compensation.

WHAT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION WITH THE WCA?

This WCA de-registration process requires the following documentation to be submitted:

Company CIPC de-registration documentation

UIF de-registration documentation

Certified ID copy of director(s)

Completed CF 1C Application for de-registration

Completed W.As.8 form of final earnings

Letter from Director explaining the reason for the company closing down (on company letterhead)

Completed affidavit by director on SAPS template explaining the reason for the company closing down

Proof of payment of any outstanding monies owing to Workmen's Compensation

Power of Attorney letter (for SafetyWallet authorisation to act on behalf of the employer)

COSTING

This WCA de-registration process is costed per de-registration which means the displayed cost is per company de-registered. For example, if a user requires 2 (two) de-registrations, the order should be made for the total number of de-registrations:

De-registrations require 2(two) to be de-registered = 2.

Cost of order = 2 x cost per de-registration (add this product 2 times in the SafetyShop).
