If you're an employer in South Africa needing to register or update employee details with the Department of Labour, you’ll likely be asked for a UI19 form. It’s one of those bureaucratic rituals that feels obscure until you need it - and then suddenly urgent.
✅ What is the UI19 form?
The UI19 form is used to declare employment status changes to the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF). Employers submit it when:
- Hiring new employees
- Terminating employment
- Updating personal or employment details
It’s a legal requirement under the UIF Act, and failing to submit it can delay UIF claims or trigger compliance issues.
📥 Where can I download the UI19 form?
You can download a clean, ready-to-use PDF version of the UI19 form directly from openHR:
No login, no paywall, no confusing redirects - just the form, as it should be.
