How can I check if I am registered for UIF?
To check online:
- Go to www.ufiling.co.za
- Click on register
- Depending on if you chose email or SMS, follow the instructions they send you
- Answer the UIF verification questions. These are to make sure you are who you say you are
- Fill in the personal details they ask you for
- Log in to the UIF website using the details you just set up
- Once your profile is active, go to the ‘Employment’ tab and click on ‘View My UIF contributions’.
- Click on the button that says ‘Get Declarations’. This will open a new screen with many months listed. It will not show the exact amount that was contributed. Under each month there should be information about your pay for that month listed in green. This means that the employer is paying over your UIF deductions. If the information is grey, it means that the information is still pending and you will have to wait and check back later to get confirmation. If it says ‘No Information’ in red under the month, then it means your employer did not pay over your UIF contribution for that month.
You can also visit your nearest Labour Department office in person. The clerk should ask for your ID number and UIF registration number. If you don’t know your UIF number you can ask for assistance here. They will be able to check whether or not you are registered for UIF and if your employer has been paying over your contributions.
If you find that your employer has not registered you with the UIF, you must report your employer to the Department of Labour. You don’t have to do this in person, you can contact them on their website or speak to them over the phone by calling 080 003 0007.
