In South Africa, domestic workers are eligible for UIF coverage. The UIF is a social security system that provides temporary relief to workers who become unemployed, unable to work due to illness, or on maternity leave. Both employers and employees contribute to the UIF fund. The employer is responsible for deducting the employee’s UIF contributions from their salary and adding an equal amount as the employer’s contribution.
As of September 2021, the monthly UIF contribution rate for domestic workers was 1% for the employee and 1% for the employer, based on the employee’s gross monthly wage. The maximum monthly wage that UIF contributions are calculated on was set at ZAR 14,872. In other words, the UIF contributions for domestic workers would be 1% of their gross monthly wage, up to a maximum of ZAR 148.72 per month for both the employee and employer.
It’s crucial to consult the official website of the South African Department of Employment and Labour or seek guidance from a financial professional to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information on UIF contributions for domestic workers.
