Being forced to work reduced hours or being put on “short-time” can be extremely difficult as you will earn less money while your expenses remain the same. The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) helps subsidise the income of these workers.

A wide array of circumstances can prevent employees from attending work. From the dreaded sick leave to more special occasions like the birth of a child or an adoption. South Africa has a system in place to ensure that when you don't attend work, you still receive a portion of your salary.
