What Is uFiling?
uFiling is the Department of Employment and Labour’s online system for registering with the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), submitting monthly declarations and paying contributions. The UIF gives short-term relief to employees who lose their jobs, go on maternity leave or cannot work because of illness.
