UIF deregistration
When you have stopped employing workers, we prepare the UIF deregistration request, submit it through the appropriate authorised route and follow up on the Department process.
Authority first. ProperSA acts only after the employer has given the appropriate limited authority. We use authorised practitioner or delegated access for UIF work; Compensation Fund representation may require a Power of Attorney.
What we can handle
- Check the employer details and the date employment ended.
- Prepare the required deregistration information from your records.
- Submit through the appropriate Department channel and track the response.
- Tell you if the Department requests documents, verification or personal action.
Your role as the employer
Deregistration is not always instant or entirely self-service. You remain responsible for outstanding declarations, payments and any action that the Department requires from an authorised employer representative.
Timing and Department requirements
A scoped review is needed before we can confirm the route and work involved.
The normal service is remote. If the Department requires the employer, director or another authorised person to verify information, provide documents or attend in person, we will tell you and you remain responsible for that step.
