The Department of Employment and Labour's Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) invites clients from Fort Beaufort and surrounding areas in Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality, Eastern Cape to an Employer Seminar and Open Day.

During the Employer Seminar, the Department will educate employers about the UIF's systems, benefits, services, processes, and compliance with legislation. An emphasis will be placed on the importance of employers registering and declaring their workers, as well as paying monthly contributions.
Services to be provided to employees and clients on the open day include registration of work seekers on the Employment System of South Africa (ESSA) database, resolving Unemployment Insurance Fund and Occupational Injuries and Diseases claims and inquiries, processing of applications and claims assessment and providing Inspection and Enforcement Services.
