About the seminar:

Traditionally, UIF processes were very tedious and time consuming, causing endless frustration for employers and delays in accessing those benefits when they are most needed. But that is all set to change. The new ‘Virtual Office’ will undoubtedly revolutionise the way in which we transact with the UIF and early results are showing hugely improved efficiencies and, most importantly, a massive time saving. The seminar will explain how the new ‘Virtual Office’ works – from what the employer/ employee is exposed to, to what happens behind the scenes – as well as why we believe this initiative will be successful.       

• A quick review of UIF, what it is, who does it affect, how to calculate the contribution (i.e. based on what earnings), how to declare and submit information, and some interesting statistics.
• Who receives the contributions, how and why, and how it all gets consolidated within the UIF department.
• How the Employer declares and submits Employee data via the new ‘Virtual Office’. How it is consolidated at UIF and how it is matched up with an Employee claim.
• How the internal UIF system works and the process flows that leads to a claim being accepted/rejected and how this then gets converted into the financial benefit that the Employee ultimately receives (i.e. how their version of the ‘Virtual Office’ desktop facility works.)
• How the Forms, the U-filing service and the monthly upload of UIF data from the Payroll system get consolidated and how they all ‘talk’ to each other within the new ‘Virtual Office’ facility. 
• How to get this all to work for you, the Employer.
