- Once your profile is active, go to the ‘Employment’ tab and click on ‘View My UIF contributions’.
- Click on the button that says ‘Get Declarations’. This will open a new screen with many months listed. It will not show the exact amount that was contributed. Under each month there should be information about your pay for that month listed in green. This means that the employer is paying over your UIF deductions. If the information is grey, it means that the information is still pending and you will have to wait and check back later to get confirmation. If it says ‘No Information’ in red under the month, then it means your employer did not pay over your UIF contribution for that month.
You can also visit your nearest Labour Department office in person. The clerk should ask for your ID number and UIF registration number.
