The possible amendment of a bill seeking to include domestic workers among those qualifying to claim for injuries sustained at work has been given the thumbs up.
The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (Saica) hailed the bill, which if amended will benefit more than 864,000 domestic workers across SA. And the South African Medical Association (SAMA) also said it was encouraging.
But they also raised concerns over some elements of the Compensation of Occupational Injuries and Diseases Amendment (COIDA) Bill at the parliamentary portfolio committee for employment and labour on Wednesday.
