Important Announcements

Yesterday the Director General of Employment and Labour issued a notice via Government Gazette 44331 that the implementation of Section 85 (1) and Section 78 would be withdrawn with effect from 1 March 2021 until further notice.

All employers that received this reduction on their tariff rates in the past, would now be assessed on the standard tariff applicable to their classification.

Even though we are dependent on the Compensation Commissioner’s systems, we are confident that we will continue to operate successfully with the minimum disruption to our services.

We do however acknowledge that remote working would disrupt the speed and capacity of our support services.

Please submit the prescribed documentation for new claims to the following email addresses:

The ROE’s for both the Compensation Commissioner and Rand Mutual can be forwarded to the following email addresses:

assist@circ.co.za (Willem)

leratos@circ.co.za (Lerato)

support@circ.co.za (Admin)

Should you have any questions regarding your return, please send us an email detailing the query together with your telephone number. We will then contact you either by phone or email.

Be safe, take care, and thank you for your understanding.

On 20 March, the Compensation Commissioner added COVID-19 as an accepted occupationally-acquired disease.

The declaration requires an additional form to be submitted namely "COVID-19 Exposure and Medical Questionnaire" which are not yet available on the Website of the Department of Labour.

For CIRC Clients, that are familiar with the reporting of Occupational Diseases, it would mean the addition of the new form to the standard reporting documents. CIRC Clients that has not reported Occupational Diseases before, are invited to contact their Claims Administrator with any questions that they may have.
