When and how must UIF contributions be paid?

Contributions are declared and paid monthly via the EMP201 form to SARS, due within seven days after the month's end (or the last business day before if on a weekend/public holiday). Use eFiling, EFT, or supported banks with a unique Payment Reference Number (PRN). Late payments incur penalties and interest. A monthly return must also be submitted to the Department of Employment and Labour every month.
