What is COIDA?
COIDA (Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act) protects employees who are injured or become ill while performing their duties. Every employer with one or more employees must register with the Compensation Fund and maintain compliance.
Why Compliance Matters
Financial Security for Employees: If an injury or death occurs, COIDA ensures that employees or their dependents receive medical expenses, disability payments, or death benefits.
Legal Obligation and Protection: Compliance is a legal requirement for most employers with one or more employees. It prevents criminal prosecution and heavy administrative penalties, which can now reach 10% of an employer's payroll under updated regulations.
Protection Against Lawsuits: COIDA operates on a "no-fault" system, meaning that if a company is compliant, injured employees cannot sue the employer for damages in civil court.
