The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) has called on all employers to resolve all errors related to Covid-19 TERS payments.
The UIF says that if errors are not rectified by employers their TERS benefits may not be paid. This could see a number of employees lose out on crucial relief.
Acting UIF commissioner Advocate Mzie Yawa said “We have observed that most Covid-19 TERS payments are unsuccessful due to employers or their representatives failing to follow the application procedures correctly. The application platform provides error messages and guides employers on what they need to do to correct mistakes”.
Below is a list of errors related to declarations. These errors must be resolved in order for employers and employees to receive UIF TERS benefits.
