Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF)

The Unemployment Insurance Fund provides short-term relief to workers when they become unemployed or are unable to work because of maternity, adoption leave, or illness. It also provides relief to the dependents of a deceased contributor.

Workmen’s Compensation

This is an employer’s contribution and provides compensation for workers who are injured or contract diseases through the course of their employment. It's a mandatory insurance system that covers medical expenses, disability, and death benefits related to occupational injuries and diseases.

Social Security Tax

While South Africa does not have a traditional social security tax, the taxes paid by individuals and corporations contribute to the funding of social security programs. These programs include state pensions, disability benefits, and social relief in distress situations.

Skills Development Levy (SDL)

Employers in South Africa are required to pay the Skills Development Levy, which is used to fund education and training as stipulated by the Skills Development Act. The purpose is to improve the skills of workers and provide training to potential employees.

These contributions play a critical role in providing social security and improving the welfare of workers in South Africa. Employers and employees are encouraged to understand their obligations to ensure compliance and the effective functioning of these social systems.
