Effortless UIF Submissions Despite Online Portal Disruptions

Recently, the Minister of Employment and Labour announced a temporary disruption to the UIF online portal services due to an interim interdict issued by the Pretoria High Court. This means that, for now, companies are unable to submit UIF declarations through the UIF online portal. The government announcement can be found here.

During this period, companies not using SimplePay’s UIF submission feature will need to manually submit their monthly declaration to their nearest labour centre.
