Hi All,

Unfortunately an Injury on Duty is not considered SICK LEAVE, nor is an employer able to take it as ANNUAL LEAVE, IOD leave is a entity on it's own and can not be deducted from any other leave. I have read all the comments here, and it should not be a case of if you are lucky the WCC will pay you what you paid the employee whilst off duty, at a rate of UP TO 75% it should happen as soon as your banking details have been submitted.

The Compensation Commissioner's offices no longer post cheques to employers or employees for injuries, all payment are handled via EFT, provided you have submitted your banking details on a W.As 33 form - Electronic Transfer of Funds Form.

Hope this helps, if you would like any further info, please forward a mail to info@calcha.za.org and we will be more than willing to assist where we can at no cost.

Cheers,

Charmaine Vorster
