What is a Letter of Good Standing?
A Letter of Good Standing is an official letter that proves you are COID registered and up-to-date with your payments to the Compensation Fund.
The reason why Tenders and Contracts so often require you to have a Letter of Good Standing is simply to make sure you’re taking full responsibility of your employees and to make sure you’re authorized to operate legally.
If you’re not COID registered or you’re not in good standing with the Compensation Fund, your employees aren’t covered by the Compensation Fund in the case of any work-related accidents in terms of medical expenses or compensation in the case of permanent injury or death.
