Casual workers UIF registration

One of the common mistakes we have seen through the TERS submission process is many employers not registering their casual workers for UIF. The legislation stipulates that any employee who works for more than 24 hours in a month must contribute to UIF. Where employers have not registered and contributed for these casual workers, the casual worker cannot claim UIF. This creates risk for the employer where the casual worker brings a claim against the employer because they are unable to receive their benefits.
