UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FUND/UFILING

I am on maternity leave for 2 months now and have 2 months to go. Submitted my maternity claim via Ufiling.which is supposed to be more sufficient and accurate.. i gave been contacting the offices and none of the rude uneducated agents working for tge call centre are able to assist. Each and everyone of them have a different story and when they cant answer your questions they become rude and arrogant or put the phone down in your face. So pathetic.and its not like its their money and you are borrow ??? Its your own and gets deducted from my salary...
i find them incompetent.rude.arrogant
I believe the people unemployed, can do a much better job should they be in the position of those working for the UIF OFFICES
PATHETICLY INCOMPETENT

Galaxy Gold Mine

I submitted a complaint plus all evidence to the department of labour as was recommended by the Commissioner at the CCMA when the company issued a section 189A in February 2017. I was basically forced to resign because all accrued leave was to be taken and I would have lost a lot of money. The company never adhered to section 197 when it was bought by Gelani Gold from Peter Skeet although it was captured in the cash call to pay outstanding money from the previous owner. Since submitting the claim to the department in Barberton I heard nothing from them as they assured me that they will phone me. I am old and need my money which I worked for. How can we allow people owning mines in SA and not complying to our laws.

Unacceptable and Rude Service

One of the Consultants at the UIF Offices in Pretoria phoned me earlier today. He is extremely rude.

He enquired what was my Domestic Workers monthly salary. I explained to him that my Domestic Worker did not earn a fixed monthly salary, she was paid per day. I completed a salary schedule and emailed it to the Consultant, but he refuses to look at it. I also asked him if I should change the UI-19 form to indicate each month on a separate line, he did not answer me. He just keep repeating the question - "how much did she earn per month, this is not a difficult question".

The way he treated me is totally unacceptable. He is also not listening to reason at all.

I paid UIF for Kate diligently each month for three years. When the Consultant first phoned me on Tuesday requesting that I complete the UI-19 form and salary schedule, I did it immediately and emailed it to him on the same day.

After the phone call, I emailed the Consultant again, explaining everything to him - his response was totally unasked for and disrespectful.

Why?????

UIF CLAIMS

I registered with Ufiling in December 2016. Received am sms stating I was now registered. After I cannot even begin to tell you, how many calls I have had to make to find out when I can receive payment. Each time was a different reason. I sent dozens of emails and never ever got a single reply. Eventually, after 5 months, I was contacted end April 2017 by a lady named Pat-Lee who helped me by stating that I required to fill out forms for change of bank details as I could not use the one that I entered into my original registration because it was a joint account. They required a bank account which was in my name only. I sent all the necessary documentation to this lady and I received payment for ONE month - or so I am assuming as it was a really small amount and I cannot believe it would be for 5 months or people would never survive. I have tried explaining my situation to her and she responded by saying that I must send the continuation of payment again for the next payment?? I was a little concerned as I mentioned that I was fortunate enough to find a job from 2 May 2017 but that I still required to be paid out for the months that i was not working. The paymaster keeps cancelling my continuation of payment because clearly they think I am working now but do not realise I have only been paid out for ONE month and not the entire 5 months that I am entitled to! The responses that I have been sent do not correspond with my request - the emails do not even make sense. I do not know what else to do, I am so tired of the lack of care and lack of assistance! This money is not yours.... it is mine! I have been working for over 35 years and I have never had to claim UIF. I will not give up until I receive what is due to me and I sincerely hope that someone can get back to me with answers that I am looking for..... not answers that you think will keep me quiet.

Frustrated and annoyed

no answer or reply from ufiling -uif retrenchment feedback and status

I have registered on your ufiling website for retrenchment uif payment in May 2017.
It was sent to the assessor and I got an sms to state that my registration was successful.
I spoke to a gentleman at ufiling and he said they needed my U.19 form which I would never have known if I had not phoned.
No-one informs a person of any issues or progress or what a person needs to do.
I sent my U.19 form and salary details to [email protected].
What more must a person do to get feedback?
I also send a querry on the ufiling system but to no avail i.o.w. NO REPLY.

Please reply to me via e-mail : [email protected] or 0824884384/0826549977

Services

Good day,

I am totally displeased with the level of service offered by the Department of Labour. I have basically called the offices of all the labour centres in the western cape & not 1 of my attempts to get info were answered. How ridiculous this could be, is really disgusting, as all i wanted was advice on a specific matter at hand.I would understand if it were that 1 or 2 calls were unanswered, but all of them had left me with this experience!

Payment Delays

My name is Sipokazi Mzongwana, I had made a UIF claim at the Department of Labour, first of all I received R1000 for the firSt payment but I earned R11000. I was then told it would be fixed however I still haven't heard anything and it has been over a month.

Furathermore I would like to know how long it takes to get payment after signing, in my understanding it takes 2-3 days however I haven't received my second payment yet, the department of labour is showing plain incompetence when it comes to people's money

UIF - Not Being Finilized

Good day

My wife and I had a baby on the 18 th of April 2017 and we submitted our UIF registration on the 19 th of April 2017.
We where told to come in on the 29 of May with the birth certificate to finalize everything. We dit do this and was told to come in on the 6 of June to singe the document as the fund will be available.
When we arrived, a lady assisted us and told us that the birth certificate was never send of. This should of been done by the gentlemen sitting next to the lady. She confronted him and he just waved it of.
The lady said she will do it and I must give her a call in 2 days time(08 June 2017).
I did so and she said that there is something on the system that have to be updated in George.
She called them several times so they can just update the problem., but nothing happens.
It is almost 2 months now and we are not yet registered for the UIF claim.
I know the lady is doing her best to assist me, but it looks like the people in George does not care.
She also told me that she is on leaf from Friday and the lady in George who is suppose to sort out the problem is also going on leaf.
If both of them are gone, what are we suppose to do?

UIF not paid - sitting with paymaster

HI

I have submitted my UIF on 2016/07/15 after being retrenched , it was finally sent to the paymaster on 2017/03/13.
I received an sms stating it will be paid within 7 - 10 days, but I have been phoning (no answer) and emailing (no response) on nearly a daily basis. I wouldnt be submitting for UIF if i didnt urgently need it.

How do I get this paid? How do I get in contact with the paymaster? How long do I still have to wait?
This has been the absolute worst service I have ever experienced and from what I can see, all these other people are experiencing the same issues.

Surely there has to be someone who can help?
We are losing everything while we wait for our payments!

Please urgently assist or tell me what I need to do to get this paid (7 - 10 days has passed months ago!)
Thanks
