About Unemployment Insurance Funds – UIF uFiling
The Unemployment Insurance Fund is a special fund that employers are required to declare and pay on behalf of their employees. These funds will be used to financially support an employee in case of a job loss or cannot work for certain reasons.
In an effort for the UIF to make the filing of claims and payment process easily accessible for employers and employees, a secure Online system was introduced for Employers to register, declare and pay UIF contributions. Employees can also use the system to apply for any of the following benefits;
- Unemployment Benefits
