The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) is a social security program designed to provide financial support to South African employees who lose their jobs.
Employers play a major role in the UIF system by contributing monthly on behalf of their employees.
The UIF admin portal serves as a convenient online platform for employers to manage their UIF obligations efficiently.

It allows employers to electronically submit UIF declarations, make monthly contributions, view contribution history, update employee information, and access various UIF-related resources.
