UIF Registration Services

Protect your employees and ensure Department of Labour compliance. We utilize a dedicated specialist to handle the full UIF registration process for you.

Get Started
Department of Labour UIF Registration

The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) provides short-term relief to workers when they become unemployed. As an employer, you are legally obligated to register with the Department of Labour.


The "Champion" Advantage

Navigating the Department of Labour can be frustrating and slow. That is why we don't do it alone.

We outsource all UIF registrations to our dedicated UIF Specialist. She has handled our clients' registrations for years with a 100% success rate. By using a specialist who deals with the Department daily, we ensure your application doesn't get lost in the system.

Who must register?

Registration is mandatory for all employers who employ staff for more than 24 hours a month. This applies to:

  • Commercial Employers: Any business (Pty Ltd, Sole Prop) with staff.
  • Domestic Employers: Households employing cleaners, gardeners, or nannies.
  • Directors: Even if you are the only employee of your own company.
SARS vs. Department of Labour?

Many people get confused here. You pay your UIF contributions to SARS (via PAYE), but you must register the employees with the Department of Labour (uFiling) so they can actually claim benefits. We ensure both sides are compliant.

Our Service Includes

We ensure your workforce is compliant with the Department of Labour:

  • UI-8 & UI-19 Submission: The official forms to register your entity and declare employees.
  • uFiling Profile Setup: Creating your digital profile for easier monthly declarations.
  • Back-pay Calculations: Assisting with arrears if you haven't registered before (penalty mitigation).
  • Proof of Registration: Obtaining your official UIF reference number.

Requirements

  • Employer ID: Certified ID copy of the owner or director.
  • Company Documents: CIPC papers (if a business) or Proof of Address (if domestic).
