Where Can I Get a UI19 Form in South Africa?

4 Nov 2025
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.

🛠️ How openHR simplifies UIF rituals

At openHR, we believe compliance shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. That’s why we’ve made key forms like the UI19 easily accessible - and why our free payroll software includes:

  • UIF-ready payslips
  • Automated EMP201 and EMP501 summaries
  • Skills Development Levy (SDL) calculations
  • Audit trails for SARS and Department of Labour submissions

We’re not just building software - we’re reverse-engineering the rituals that frustrate small businesses and turning them into legacy moves.
