As an employer what are your obligations in terms of reporting and/or claiming for an Injury on Duty whilst duty outside the Republic of South Africa?
Chapter IV Section 23 of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act refers to Accidents outside the Republic of South Africa.
In the event that an employee, who ordinarily works within South Africa has an injury on duty whilst on business in another country, that employee shall be entitled to compensation and therefore the employer must treat the IOD as per normal.
If an employee is employed to work primarily outside of South Africa then he or she would not be entitled to compensation unless the Employer has previously agreed this with the Director-General.
