South Africa: Is there a way to exclude specific employees from the UIF Declaration File?
This feature is available on all Deel Local Payroll powered by payspace payroll editions
Yes. The user can exclude an employee from the UIF Declaration File by enabling the Exclude From UIF submission File tick box on the Exemptions and Other tab.
Navigate > Employee > Basic Information > Basic Profile > Employee > Exemptions and Other
For as long as this field is ticked, the employee will be excluded from the UIF Declarations File, e g. a previously terminated employee who receives a Lumpsum payment in the current run (after being terminated in a previous run).
Note
UIF contributions will still continue to calculate for the employee. The employee will only be excluded from the UIF Declaration File.
