THE FACTS
EPHRAIM TSWAYI from Hillbrow, Joburg, said he was injured at work but his employer refused to sign compensation forms that would enable him to make a claim.
He came to the SunDefender to ask if there was a way the Compensation Fund at the labour department could assist in such an instance.
WHAT I DID
I spoke to the fund on their procedures.
SOLUTION
Themba Mdluli advised that Ephraim must get a police affidavit.
He must explain in the affidavit what happened and the reasons the employer gave for refusing to
report the injury on duty.
Ephraim must then go to a labour centre and request the help of an inspector who will investigate and advise accordingly.
