THE IMPORTANCE OF U-FILING

THE IMPORTANCE OF U-FILING AND KEEPING UP TO DATE:

U-filing is a free, secure and easy-to-use system allowing employers to update individual employee salary details. It enables a streamlined UIF declaration returns process and automatically calculates the UIF contributions associated with your monthly return.

An employer must within 7 days of the end of the month in which it commences activities as an employer, submit a completed declaration to the Commissioner. Every employer must provide the Commissioner with all information (the required employer and employee details) and must do so by submitting a declaration of their employees electronically or by completing form UI-19. It enables a streamlined UIF declaration returns process and automatically calculates the UIF contributions associated with your monthly return.

Leveraging the flexibility of the internet, U-Filing gives employers 24/7 access to UIF declaration information from anywhere in the word, provided you have an internet connection.

With regular updates and automated e-mail notifications from U-filing, you are now able to use U-Filing to help ensure you as an employer will remain compliant with the latest UIF legislative requirements, eliminating the stress and hassles usually associated with compliance.

With the current Covid 19-Pandemic and TERS/UIF claims if this initial process was not conducted correctly, system errors occur resulting in employees not receiving payout.

Same goes for employees trying to claim UIF, should their services terminate.

If the initial UIF process and declaration have not been done, these employees battle tremendously to claim.
