Compensation dept. labour

The Compensation Claim department of Labour does not answer any phone calls.
The umehluko76 Electronic system - does not work 100%.
I submit all documents through the legal department, call center, claim section...and still they did not submit all documents on the system.

The senior officer of the claim section does not reply back to Public Protectors request.

It is now 8 years, and my claim is not compensate.

Claim nr. 603870

Funds still not paid in

Good day

I submitted all my documents early this month and was told that my funds will be paid out today is the 27the already and still no money in my account. What's the point of paying uif every month when you have to struggle to get your own money back every month but then again government doesn't care. This is unacceptable and unprofessional.

Still did not receive my money

Good day

I submitted all my documents early this month and was told I will be paid out today is already the 27the and still I have not received my money. What's the purpose of paying uif every month when you have to struggle to get your own money back from government when you no longer working. This is just unacceptable and unprofessional.

urgent assistance required

Good Day,

I have been retrenched in July 2017, and ever since then have been trying to finalise my UIF claim, after I only worked for 2 companies in 24 years.

After 6 months the UIF department replies to me that there is a problem with documents. AS always they never receive, they find fault with one set of documents and when that is corrected they back track and find fault with others they never questioned.

All this is confirmed in writing and then the responses dry up.

WHAT SHOULD I DO???????

Rude Worker

Good day I would like to lay a complaint against lone of the workers at the New cross road workers who gave me attitude and refused to assist me when I went to submit my UIF maternity claim. His Name is Zukile he was very arrogant as well as his co - worker pity I didn't get her name as she was the very same person who was rude towards my sister a month ago.
I fail to understand why does the department keep such arrogant people working for them while they service their own people in an inappropriate unacceptable manner. The gut was very rude and loud and I decided not to argue with him as I knew I will deal with the matter professionally.
I fail to understand why should we have to travel far to get better assistance where as we have offices in our neighbourhood.
I would like the Labour department to train their staff on how to treat people and especially communicating with them. Instead these people just want to sit around and do nothing and chat within each other.

Uif pay out

Good day

I struggle with my uif claim since October and don't get any reply/feedback on any mails or telephone calls.

I did send e-mails with no reply within the so called 24hours time frame and I still have no reply back. On the web page they mention that it take 4 to 6 weeks for a claim to be settled and mine are now over 2 months and nothing yet.

You receive no service what so ever. It seems that their is no boddy working in the UIF offices.

I even send an e-mail to their complainant office and no joy. It is the worst ever service received.


I will aprreciate it if you can give me feedback or update on this matter.

UIF PAYMENT

My name is Noluthando Tyala ID no:8601031032086, i have applied for my UIF on the 17th sept 2018 and i was told to come back on the 17th october 2018 and before that date i received an sms from labour department stating that my UIF claim was rejected with no imformation as to why was it rejected, the sms only said i can submit a Notice of appeal or a shall call to enquire as to why. Indeed i called and i discovered that they need UI19 from FNB then i went back on the 09 october to submit the UI19 from FNB and the returning date was not changed and still requested to come back on the 17th october2018 and i went still my UIF was not in order as i was told its waiting for an approval so i should come back on the 31 october 2018 again i went with the hope that finally i will get my money as i need to pay my rent and pay other bills and guess what to my suprise another issue arised, in this case i was told my previouse company captured a wrong salary to the labour department system and i did not know if a company can claim UIF on their ex employees behalf and i was told to go back to my previous employer to get my UI19 again and i was so furious as i submitted everything they requested in my knowledge, and yes i called my ex employer for another UI19 and which they gladly send it and i forwaded it to the labour department employee which he printed it out and said to me he sent it to the processing department for an urgent approval and last time was the same promise but nothing happened. My point is you guys you do not know what i am going through not being able to pay for a place to stay and being kicked out because you did not fullfil the arrangement you made with the landlord and on the other hand i will lose the funeral policies i had for yes because its been two months not paying them and being blacklisted because you haven't paid the bills for 2 month and you still looking for the job and most jobs they do not take someone who is blacklisted. i hope this email will get into a person who have a heart and who understand our situation, cause some other people get into deppresion just by reading other peoples email its total frustrating and disappointing to our labour department. I hope to get great news before the end of the week so that i can pay my rent. My email address is [email protected] and the branch i went to in Johannesburg is in Braamfontein.
