Employees who join companies are to be registered to join to ensure their contribution from their salary is paid to UIF. Registering UIF welcomes you to the terms and conditions, which inform you about the benefits and the expected. 

Registration is mandatory, and the law expects employers to register all employees accordingly.

With all these, there may be other individuals who want to deactivate their UIF and may wish to know how.

 This article will look at how to deactivate UIF and other related topics on UIF deregistering.

How to Deactivate UIF

While registration procedures exist, deregistration procedures are also possible. But before we get to the deregistering process, let’s take a closer look at why someone might register for UIF.

The UIF registration procedure is carried out to introduce new or current employees to UIF for their contributions to get to the right institutions.

These payments are made monthly by calculating and deducting 2% of the gross salary from the employee and employer.

A person must be employed and enrolled with UIF before they can begin making contributions to the fund. Your employer is required to register you as a potential employee by providing the Department of Labor with your information, whether offline or online.

One can also inquire, though, “Can I deactivate from UIF?” The employer has access to the deactivating process, not the employees. Because the employer registered the employee under the company’s umbrella, it is the employer’s responsibility to take the necessary measures to deregister UIF. If you are an employee who has been let go or laid off, your employer is responsible for starting the deregistration procedure. You can deactivate UIF by just a phone call or visiting the department of labour to submit the needed details. Let’s now take you through the deactivating process. 

What number do I call to cancel UIF?

The cancellation of UIF is mostly done by employers. As per the law, the employer must register the employee under the company’s reference number. UIF only recognizes the employers’ details at the initial stage before looking at the details of the employees. 

If you want to cancel UIF by calling a number, you can dial 0123371680. Call the number given and submit a reference number for further assistance.

The process of claiming from UIF can sometimes be tedious when you look at the requirements. However, there are policies aligned for every individual to follow. UIF has indicated that it can take between 24 to 72 hours to be cleared from UIF. 

How long do you stay UIF registered?

Being registered with UIF is a requirement and mandatory for every employee. Being registered with UIF means you will be secured should anything happen. Once you are an employee actively working with a firm, your commitment to UIF is confirmed. You can stay with UIF for as long as you want unless there is any other grant that becomes problematic, and therefore, there will be the need to cancel UIF. Besides that, once you work, your registration with UIF will be there until your employer clears you off.

Can you deregister UIF online?

Deregistering UIF means you are no longer working and contributing to UIF. There are certain reasons that one would want to deregister from UIF, and this could be due to other grant support, leaving the country, or looking to retire. 

Deregistering UIF is possible; this can be done by your employer, not you as the employee. If you see the need to deregister from UIF, you can discuss that with your employer. But remember, you should not be working with the company upon making this request. Once you are still within the company, your employer can not deregister you from UIF.
