Why UIF matters
Three reasons it’s worth doing right
Protect your worker
UIF covers your worker for unemployment, maternity, illness, and provides for their dependants. It's how you do right by them.
Avoid penalties
Late UIF means 10% penalty plus interest from the deadline. We pay yours on time, every time.
The real cost
What happens if you don’t pay UIF.
Without RightWay
Legal risk
Failing to register a worker is a Department of Labour violation.
Penalties plus interest
Late UIF means a 10% penalty plus interest from the deadline.
Worker unprotected
No UIF means no maternity, illness, or unemployment cover for them.
With RightWay
We fix all of this for R149* a month.
(R79 our service + R70 UIF, based on R3,500 salary)
Worker registered, UIF filed and paid every month, proof in your inbox. Never a late penalty again.

Three real situations RightWay has handled in the last year, across Cape Town, Joburg, and Durban.
“I was 18 months behind on UIF and too embarrassed to fix it. RightWay sorted it out in 8 days. No judgement, just done.”
SSarah van NiekerkConstantia, Cape Town“I employ a gardener and a housekeeper. Both registered, UIF paid for both every month, one debit, done. I never think about it. Lekker.”
MMandla KhumaloSandton, Johannesburg“WhatsApp RightWay, send the salary, done. Joyce got her first proper payslip in seven years working for us. Worth every Rand.”

Questions
The honest answers
Yes. If your worker works more than 24 hours a month for you, the law requires UIF registration with the Department of Labour. There's no minimum salary threshold.
