<\/div>\n

Officials of the Department of Employment and Labour are in Polokwane, Limpopo, to help citizens with Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) applications and processing of claims for workers.  <\/p>\n

\u201cOfficials are continuing with assisting clients, who are flocking to Nirvana Hall, to apply for UIF and Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Disease, as well as registering work-seekers on the Employment Services of South Africa (ESSA) database for possible employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the first day of the campaign, we captured 347 claims but encountered challenges with UI-19 forms that were incorrectly filled,\u201d said the department\u2019s Director of Beneficiary Services in Limpopo, Vuledzani Mulindi, on Thursday.<\/p>\n

As the department\u2019s open day and \u2018Taking services to the people\u2019 campaign entered its second day in the city, Mulindi said departmental officials have since met with the Department of Basic Education\u2019s Programme Manager to come up with solutions to ensure that former teacher assistants around Limpopo are correctly declared for UIF.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, [along with Basic Education], are going to have open day sessions meant for teacher assistants, so they can rectify any challenges experienced with regard to incorrectly filled UI-19 forms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mulindi urged employers to attend these sessions in their numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are making a call to employers\u2026 to utilise the u-Filing system to register employees for Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Disease, as well as the Unemployment Insurance Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n

He encouraged employers to not only register workers, but to also take further steps to pay contributions and declare workers on a monthly basis, as required by law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt remains the responsibility of an employer, after termination of service of a worker, to ensure that worker information is updated on a monthly basis to show the current status and employment history.<\/p>\n

\u201cFailure to submit the declaration may cause delays with the processing of claims for unemployment or other benefits,\u201d Mulindi said. <\/p>\n

The last session of the campaign is currently underway and is set to conclude in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The department will announce in due course the open day sessions, which will cover all the 10 districts in Limpopo. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
