The Labour Law Company

- A worker should contribute 1% of his/her monthly remuneration. In addition to the 1% that is paid by the worker, the employer also contributes 1% in respect of each worker in his/ her employment.

The total contribution that is paid is therefore 2%. For instance, if a worker earns R1 000 per month, the employer must deduct 1% of the R1 000 which is R10. In addition, the employer must pay R10 in respect of this worker who is in his/her employment. The total of R20 must therefore be forwarded to the UIF or SARS whichever is applicable.

Contributions must be deducted for the current month only and the employer is not allowed to deduct for more than one month's contribution. Failure by employer to deduct and pay the contributions over will render them responsible for the whole 2%.

The employer must pay these contributions to the Fund on or before the 7th day of every month.�Where the 7th day is not a business day, payments must be made before the last business day.
