How to Register for the Unemployment Insurance Fund

There are various ways to register with the UIF. It is the employer’s responsibility to fill in and send the forms to register themselves and their employees.

Every employee will be registered on an electronic database system and their details and contributions to the UIF will be recorded. Every time a new employee is employed the employer must register this person on the UIF database.

An unemployed person wanting to apply for UIF will only have to present their bar- coded ID document to receive unemployment payments.
