Why hospitality operators can't afford a lapsed LOGS

Liquor licence renewals and TGCSA hotel grading inspections include an active LOGS in the document checklist.

If your LOGS lapses: Renewal applications are delayed, and corporate-rate accommodation contracts can be paused on lapse.

Real-time status shifts

When your record on the Compensation Fund register changes from valid to expired, you get an email. No more discovering the lapse from a rejected tender bid.

30/60/90-day pre-expiry countdowns

A repeating six-stage countdown — 90, 60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day out — gives your finance team enough lead time to file Return of Earnings before the LOGS goes red.

Help when it's expired

If your letter has expired, we match you with a registered labour practitioner who can submit your Return of Earnings and get a new letter issued.

From free check to continuous monitoring

  1. 1

    Run the free LOGS check

    Punch in your 10-digit certificate number on /check/coida. ClearComply queries the Compensation Fund portal directly and returns your current status in under a minute. No signup, no card.

  2. 2

    See exactly where you stand

    Green = compliant. Amber = expiring within 60 days. Red = expired. Each result comes with next-step guidance tailored to hospitality operators.

  3. 3

    Fix anything red

    If the check returns expired, we can match you with a registered labour practitioner who submits your Return of Earnings and requests a new letter. It's opt-in from the result page.

  4. 4

    Add daily monitoring so it never happens again

    Once you're compliant, a Business Account (R99/month) re-checks your record and alerts you at 90/60/30/14/7/1 days before the next expiry, so you don't discover a lapse from a rejected tender bid.

Frequently asked questions

Does it matter which city we're in?
No. The Compensation Fund runs one national register, so a Letter of Good Standing is checked the same way whether you operate in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or anywhere else in South Africa.
What triggers an assessment for hospitality operators?
Annual ROE; assessments fluctuate with seasonal staff so the LOGS often expires sooner than operators expect.
Do I need to enter my CIPC registration number, or is the trade name enough?
Either works. The Compensation Fund records use trade names — those are what we surface. CIPC registration numbers are used to disambiguate when multiple LOGS records share a trade name.
What does my ClearComply subscription actually do?
Regular register checks, six-stage countdown alerts (90/60/30/14/7/1 days before expiry), and a notification when your record changes from valid to expired. R99/month or R990/year; cancel anytime.
When would I need expert help to fix things?
If your letter has expired and nobody in-house can submit the Return of Earnings quickly, we match you with a registered labour practitioner who handles it end to end, at a fixed price shown before you pay.
