The law does not differentiate between different size organizations, and therefore it is imperative that SME’s fully understand the implications of all aspects of Labour legislation. Employers must give workers certain information in writing when they paid, and keep certain records of attendance.

All employees must have a legally compliant, signed employment contract in place.

Along with the employment contract, you must also be able to provide a job description, copies of payslips and attendance registers, and a hard copy of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act must be available for your employees to refer to at any time should they choose to do so.

All business employers are required to register their employees to pay UIF, and deduct and pay it from their salary on a monthly basis.

In order to do so you need to be registered with the UIF as an employer and receive an employer reference number. You can then submit your monthly returns and process the payments.

This can be a daunting and sometimes frustrating process, so let myHRM take the headache out of UIF and handle your  registration and setting up of your U-Filing account.
