Phoenix of Swaziland Insurance Company heeds call for Employer conformity with Workmen’s Compensation compliance ahead of April 1, 2025

Mbabane, Eswatini – March 20, 2025

As the April 1, 2025 renewal commencement date approaches, Phoenix of Swaziland Assurance Company Limited is urging all employers to ensure compliance with mandatory Workmen’s Compensation insurance cover.

This essential coverage ensures business continuity to an organisation’s operations while safeguarding the welfare interests of the affected employee at the same time, against the financial repercussions of workplace accidents,
that potentially result in injuries requiring medical treatment, disabilities, contracted diseases, or even fatalities to the workforce member(s) from perils during their employment.

Understanding Workmen’s Compensation

Workmen’s Compensation is a compulsory insurance mandated to all employers in Eswatini. It provides coverage for injuries, disabilities, and/or deaths arising from occupational incidents. Phoenix of Swaziland Assurance Company Limited, a registered insurance company in Eswatini reinforces the importance that this form of cover provides in protecting employees who may suffer injuries or illnesses due to their work responsibilities.

The Importance of Compliance
