How do I register with WCFCB for workers' compensation in Zambia?

To register your business for workers' compensation cover, you must contact the Workers' Compensation Fund Control Board (WCFCB). This is a legal requirement under the [Workers' Compensation Act] and covers work-related injuries, disability, and death separately from NAPSA (pensions) and NHIMA (health insurance).

Here are the steps:

1. Download the WCFCB Employer Registration form from the official WCFCB portal or Levy.
2. Complete the form and submit it along with your PACRA business certificate, TPIN, employer details, and payroll information.
3. Declare all your workers and their earnings to WCFCB.
4. Pay the contribution assessed by WCFCB based on your payroll size and the risk class of your industry.
5. Keep your registration and worker declarations up to date.

What you need: PACRA certificate, TPIN, employer details, payroll records, and the completed WCFCB Employer Registration form. Contributions are assessed individually based on your payroll and industry risk class. Confirm the current assessment rates and basis with WCFCB directly before making payment. Once registered and current with payments, you can claim on the fund if a worker suffers a work-related injury.
