THE Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) has taken steps to fast-track the processing of their existing benefits to workers.
They have also announced possible financial assistance to employer/s that had to enforce lockdown.
As such, the UIF will help affected workers through existing benefits including illness, reduced work time, unemployment and Coronavirus Temporary Employer/Employee Relief Scheme (COVID19TERS) benefits.
The Department of Employment and Labour has provided an easy step-by-step guide for employers looking to make use of this opportunity.
The guide is available at https://odm.org.za/…/f…/news/COVID19%20TERS%20Easy%20Aid.pdf.
For more information, send an email to co-vid19ters@labour.gov.za.
