TERS-UIF now online process

[Bobby Knight]

Does anyone know whether TERS would be extended for businesses still on forced lockdown?

It was my understanding that it was for three months, so I assume one more month.

Thank you, we are in the Tourism Sector for which there is no end in sight.
The end of TERS Benefit would really have sad consequences for the industry.

For anyone in Tourism, SATSA is busy with a survey pushing for assistance for Tourism.
If you have the oppurtunity, please complete the survey.

Hi Dave

I saw you also had an error on ufiling for UFL1020. I am searching everywhere and phoning whole time but still not coming right. Did you perhaps find out what the error was? Cheers Rob

Rob, the closest I have come to an official response to what the problem is has been sitting in webinars where representatives from UIF have been present. The topic has been touched on, but never responded to in any depth.

From that I have gleaned that UIF has been cross-checking company data at CIPC with what they have on the uFiling database, and one other database (I don't have the note handy as to the name, but I know there is another "official" database that is the historical source relied on by DOL over the years). Where any of this data doesn't match up, the uFiling script throws a conniption.

I have also observed it misbehaves when certain data is reported as missing within the uFiling database - in my personal experience it has been an email address and telephone number - and the degree of mischief this causes seems to vary from time to time between a warning to outright rejection of any attempt at monthly return inputs.

The corrective action apparently is to submit a UI8 with the words UPDATE and the existing UIF registration number clearly added as additional information not actually requested on the form, together with the usually required supporting documents for a new registration. (See this post for more information on that).

In a webinar I attended a bit over a week ago, the UIF guy said that there are 10 people in the country with the necessary permissions to correct the information on uFiling and the backlog on this is about 90 000 emails...

I received a "declaration" on sunday morning (21 June 2020) to nofity me that the application logged on the 29 May its progress ...my staff are not happy i dont blame them.

The sad part ... from 25 June they go on short time until I can find work ... i have a few small jobs to pay my food bill and thats it.

It seems the government is punishing black people for working for white owned companies ... by not offering a piece of the pie (the relief fund)

I am considering retrenching at the end of the month and just operating on my own.

I am going to look into sub contracting projects which require staff.

I see it happening at companies ... forced to run at 30 % capacity with no relief ... people have realised they can made do without all the additional staff.

I belong to various whatssapp groups which has a list of small one man operations ... begging for work ... maybe this is the way forward.

I don't understand...I've applied two months running. Both months it was paid within 5 days of claiming.

The UIF was paid into my account this morning.

June applications opened last night.

A correction. Just came across a report on the webinar I emailed elsewhere in which I state "UFiling support has a backlog of 211 000 emails to work through".

June application open, HOWEVER, there is a Major problem on the system, confidential data is being exposed.
HUGE concern.
