Unfortunately we do not cater for this facility due to the reconciliation process of matching up payments to customers by the 7th of the following month to be on time for the payment to the UIF department. We only offer this service via debit order.

Absolutely! Once you register for our service there is a link available with all of our banking details. Please ensure you put the reference on the deposit slip/banking reference so that we can match it up yo your profile.

On your profile, ensure that the option for us to debit your account is checked and your banking details have been captured.

We debit everyone's account on the 1st working day of each month and transfer it to the UIF department on the 7th of the same month. The UIF department does not send out anything to confirm receipt of payment however you are more than welcome to phone them at any stage to confirm that your record is updated accordingly. Your payments and receipts page on our site will reflect every single payment made to the department and is proof that you have paid.

On the home page there is a 'Forgotten Password' link where you can enter your user name and your password will be emailed to you.

Assuming that your employee has worked for you from April 2003, you will need to calculate 2% of their gross pay for each month up until the end of last month.

Example: Employee earns R1000 per month, therefore 2% of this is R20. R20 multiply by number of months worked from April 2003 until last month will give you the full back payment amount. Specify this amount on your profile (employer) and UIF Solutions will automatically deduct this from your account at the end of this month along with this month's UIF amount and we will let the UIF department know that this amount is back payment.

Contributors who worked for at least four years qualify for 238 day's credit. If a worker has worked for less than four years she/he can claim for the number of day's credit accumulated. When a claim is submitted, the UIF office will check how many days’ credit were accumulated. Domestic workers accumulate credits with the UIF at a rate of one day for every six days worked. The number of days can also be calculated as follows:

Step 1 - Determine total number of days that an employee was employed as a contributor in the four-year period immediately preceding the date of application for benefits in terms of this Chapter.

Step 2 - Divide total number of days by 52 multiplied by seven and disregard any fraction of the resultant figure.

Step 3 - Subtract from this amount any days benefits (excluding maternity benefits) received in the four-year period immediately preceding the date of application for benefits in terms of this Chapter.

Step 4 - The resultant figure determines the days of benefits that a contributor is entitled to.

They are calculated from the date of unemployment. They can only be paid if services have been terminated by the employer. If a domestic worker worked for three months, she/he will be eligible to receive benefits equivalent to 15 days of work when becoming unemployed where the daily rate is calculated at:
If paid monthly, by multiplying the monthly remuneration by 12 and dividing it by 365;
If paid weekly, by multiplying the weekly remuneration by 52 and dividing it by 365.
