The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) has cautioned the public not to fall victim to scammers, as yet another social media scam circulates.

In the first phase of the “follow the money” project, Millions had been recovered from what is suspected to be fraudulent payments. As the second phase has commenced, companies need to get their ducks in a row.

The Department of Employment and Labour is running an initiative that brings service delivery directly to clients. The Department is encouraging applicants of UIF to take advantage of the opportunity so that they may receive their claims for the festive season. 

Unforeseen circumstances that lead to a loss of income can be devastating for many people. A fund in South Africa ensures that workers can access short term financial relief if they require it.

National lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in thousands of workers losing income. A relief mechanism, aimed at supplementing these workers for their lost income, was misappropriated by several individuals and companies.

More than 200,000 young people’s contracts of employment came to an end in August 2022. Despite losing this avenue to generate income, youth were encouraged to apply for financial support from the Unemployment Insurance Fund.

The Department of Labour is now urging employees to normalise applying for the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) on time. 

It appears that those implicated in Covid-19 TERS fraud allegations are resorting to intimidation tactics to deter a UIF auditor who is key to its probe. The UIF has now said that an employee has received a death threat due to his work. 

Members of South Africa’s workforce are by law required to make monthly contributions to a fund. This fund ensures that workers have access to some financial support when they are unable to work due to several circumstances.

Lives can change in an instant. Preparing for these changes is crucial and South Africa’s labour department aims to ensure workers are ready for any possibility. However, the actions of their employers could be detrimental to their survival.

Losing employment as well as your ultimate source of household income can be daunting. This is where the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) steps in, playing a crucial role in offering some level of temporary relief. 
 

More than 850,000 employment opportunities were created during the first three phases of the Basic Education Employment Initiative (BEEI). However, these job placements came to their conclusion, leaving thousands of youth without any income.

One of the consequences of the Covid-19-related lockdowns meant that employees were unable to attend work. A relief mechanism was introduced to assist these employees who lost income due to the lockdown.

The South African government introduced a temporary relief measure to assist workers who lost income due to the Covid-19 related lockdowns. However, workers who applied for this relief may not receive money due to mistakes made in the application process.

The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns meant that people were forced to stay at home, even if it meant losing out on income. While the government made provision to assist workers who lost income due to lockdowns, some workers struggle to access this relief.

The Unemployment Insurance Fund has taken to social media to address an issue, urging employers to be more mindful when submitting their details. 

A school in Pretoria has been shut down after a labour department inspection. This comes after the department made an unpleasant discovery. 

Adding a new member to your family can be a very special occasion. However, this moment should not be diminished by worries about the income you will lose after taking adoption leave.

At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Temporary Employer/Employee Relief Scheme (TERS) was created to help people whose income was lost due to the pandemic.

Many people are forced to stop working due to several foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. It is critical that workers contribute to the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) so they can access relief when they are unable to work.
