South Africa: Is there a way to exclude specific employees from the UIF Declaration File on PaySpace?

Yes. The user can exclude an employee from the UIF Declaration File by navigating via Employee > Basic Information > Basic Profile > Employee Details > Subheading: Exemptions and Other > Tick 'Exclude from UIF submission file'.

      

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.
