What is the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF)?
UIF is a compulsory insurance scheme that provides short-term financial relief to workers who become unemployed, ill, on maternity/adoption/parental leave, or in cases of reduced work time, as well as benefits to dependents of deceased contributors. SARS collects contributions, while the Department of Employment and Labour administers benefits.
