The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) is a system that's been put in place by the South African government to protect people from unemployment, or times without pay (like maternity leave). Sounds positive right? Should be smooth sailing, hey? How lucky are we!?
Heh. We can hear you sighing, friends. And the eyerolls are palpable. But we're here to help!
If you've ever had to navigate it, you'll know that registering for UIF is one of those incredibly challenging administrative tasks that, it seems, is almost impossible to do without outside help.
This episode of The Nanny Diaries will outline why it’s important for you to register your nanny for UIF, and how to go about doing so. We also discuss other ways to safeguard your nanny if you feel you need an alternative option.
Among the experts that we chat to are Amy Tekie (founder of Izwi Domestic Workers Alliance) and Kelebogile Kunou, a researcher at the Socio-Economic Rights Institute of South Africa).
As always, we also chat to real moms and nannies currently navigating this tricky landscape.
If this is something that you've been putting off, we believe we have you covered. BUT, if you still have any questions for Samantha Steele and the TGE gang, please email us at info@thegreatequalizer.co.za.
