Do commission earners pay UIF ? - Computers & Internet

In South Africa, commission earners are generally required to contribute to the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) under certain conditions. The UIF is a compulsory insurance fund that provides short-term relief to workers who become unemployed, including those who earn commissions.
According to the South African Department of Employment and Labour, employees who earn commissions are required to contribute to the UIF if they meet the following criteria:
1. They work for an employer who is registered with the UIF.
2. They earn less than a specific threshold (as determined by the Minister of Employment and Labour).
3. They work for more than 24 hours per month for an employer.
If these criteria are met, both the employee and the employer must make monthly contributions to the UIF. The contribution rate is calculated as a percentage of the employee's earnings, subject to certain limits. The current contribution rates can be obtained from the South African Department of Employment and Labour or their official website.
It is important for commission earners to verify their specific circumstances and consult with the South African Department of Employment and Labour or a qualified professional for accurate and up-to-date information regarding UIF contributions.
