LABOUR DEPARTMENT

My husband submitted all hsi documenst at teh labour department in Spetember 2015, to date everytime he appreas on the date given by teh labor department he gets told that his UI-19 has not been captured and it is not there fault it's Labour departmenst head office who is not capturing the documents, I myself have called the labour departments call centre they asked me on numerous occasions to sent through the ui-19 which i have done but each time i call back they give the same excuse that there might be a back log and therefore the capturing department has delayed in capturing, in the mean time ther is no income comming in how does the labour department expect men who are the bread winners of the home to feed there families. a back log for a week yes or two weeks this has been going on for 5 months, is this the governments way of trying to delay paying the claim in the hopes that eventually people will get fed up and just not return for there money, this is not on.

UIF Claim registration - OFFICE HOURS??

The office hours are noted as 07h30 - 16h00. I was at the office on 10 Feb 2016 waiting in the long queue from 07h30 in the blazing sun till 14h00 after which I had to leave to pickup my granddaughter from school approx 18 kilometers away, in the meantime staff coming and going doing private shopping and getting takeaways. Returned Tuesday, 16 Feb 2016 as registering for unemployment is noted for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I was given documents to fill in after waiting for 5 hours. Returned Wednesday, 17 February 2016 at 14h50, waited in a queue of 6 people, then told I am too late. I need to go early in the morning, 07h00 to be assisted during the morning as they have other office duties to do in the afternoons. Yet, while waiting, staff were leaving the offices with handbags and shopping bags. This is unacceptable as some people walk/drive kilometers to register for claims.
Office hours 07h30 - 16h00.

STILL NO PAYMENT

claim finalized as there is no further documents outstanding since the 11th of December 2015- to date no one at the UIF offices can tell me why I haven't gotten paid!

after at least 6 phone calls a week and then about once a month I do get to speak to someone but nothing positive comes out of it as they all say they have sent through an "enquiry" but what then?

no action on my uFiling account since the 11th of December 2015??

I was told over the December/January period the Labour Department was short staffed but it's almost March... is everyone still on holiday?

the service in government departments are getting poorer and poorer- I have claimed UIF about 5 years ago and the service then was excellent with perfect turn around time and now..... its very sad!

Maternity Benefit

I submitted my claim in November 2015 using ufiling. My baby was born on the 04th December 2015. Until today I have not received anything from the UIF.

In January when I called to check I was advised there was documents outstanding. I sent those documents to a lady by the name of Jane Mashabela and got email confirmation on the 12th January 2016 that the documents have been received. I called a few times after that but could not get hold of the offices. eventually after a few days i did get hold of someone only to be advised that Jane doesn't work there and its impossible to have received an email from her on the 12th January as she has left before that date.

On the 8th February 2016 I went to the offices and was sent to the claims office in Pretoria then back to head office. At head office i handed in the forms that was outstanding and was told I will need to reapply. I did this on the 8th February and sent all the documents to the offices that was requested. After receiving an sms yesterday to say the documents is still outstanding I called the offices today, after holding for so long i finally spoke to someone just to be told i should email the documents. No one could give me any other information either and even after asking to speak to a manager i was told no one can assist me in this regard, not even a manager, the documents will need to be sent to them again, even after confimation on my ufiling that it was received the 1st time I did the claim.

The service when going to the office and over the phone has been a nightmare. Ufiling was supposed to make it easier for people yet its just as difficult as sitting at the offices. I go back to work in April and still have not received anything from the UIF.

Something needs to be done with the service people are receiving from the UIF, I am sick of hearing excuses that documents are outstanding or something like that.

My case number is 10003628567, hopefully someone can assist.

UIF claim

I lodged a UIF claim beginning of November 2015 and was given the 7th January 2016. I was told all paperwork was received but not captured. I was again given the 28th January 2016 where I was told the same story and given a new date of 3 March 2016. I called HO numerous times and also emailed complaint and my payslips and IRP5s but nobody got back to me from Pretoria.
Obviously am not working and have been paying UIF for 7 years...why do I have to suffer and attain a bad credit history? With what money should I travel for nothing and call the call centre?

UIF maternity claim

I submitted my Uif claim for maternity benifits on the 22 october 2016. Till date I have not received a cent. Every time I call and eventually get through to the call center it is the same problem, I need to resubmit my banking form, even though my details are still the same as original claim. I have resubmitted these forms a minimum of 15 times in two months time and still nothing changes. I have submitted them 10 times directly to the supervisor, Julia Twala via email and not even that helps. My employer pays my uif on time every month but when we as emlpoyees need to claim back, which is infact our money as we pay uif monthly, it takes forever to get OUR money. This comes down to theft as they are taking our money anf then not paying our claims.

Can someone whom is competant in doing their job please contact me to get this matter sorted as I will be taking it futher.

UIF NOT PAID

I had my baby in early October (applied for UIF in late September already), and am now back at work, yet I have not received a cent from the UIF.

My husband and I desperately need the money owed to us in order to pay off things from the past 4 months when I was supposed to be receiving UIF.

We keep getting told that things are missing, even AFTER we have been told that everything is in order and we should receive the funds within the next few days. This is even after contacting the head office. We have emailed, faxed, called, etc.

Any help?
