COIDA Letter of Good Standing support
Check the employer’s Compensation Fund records and identify the returns, assessments or payment matters affecting a Letter of Good Standing request.
What the work covers
Use this scope to identify what you need. Your proposal will confirm the services, records, reporting frequency and fees for your business.
- Review of the available employer and assessment records
- A list of outstanding Returns of Earnings or payment queries
- Submission and payment-allocation query support where agreed
- Assistance retrieving the letter when available
- A record of remaining actions and relevant expiry information
What to prepare
Tell us which records are available and where there are gaps. We can then distinguish ongoing work from any initial catch-up.
- Compensation Fund registration details
- Payroll totals and Returns of Earnings
- Assessments and proof of payments
- Previous letters, notices and the requester’s deadline
Timing and responsibility
Timing depends on the records, approvals and work required. Tell us about any deadline at the start. The engagement should identify the person handling your work, the review responsibilities and any external specialist needed.
Establish the blocker before promising a date
An outstanding return, unpaid assessment and unallocated payment are different issues. Check the employer’s record and supporting evidence before selecting the next step. The Compensation Fund controls processing and issue of the letter.
Check the actual document
Read the employer details, validity dates and verification information on the issued letter. Customer and tender requirements vary. Avoid relying on a previous year’s timetable or assuming a letter will be available merely because a payment was made.

Questions before you start
Can an urgent letter be guaranteed?
No. Disclose the deadline so the current status and dependencies can be assessed.
What if the Fund has not allocated a payment?
Provide the assessment, payment reference and proof of payment. The allocation query must be resolved through the Fund’s available process.
