Domestic Worker UIF Status Checklist (Employee Guide)

A plain-language checklist for domestic workers in South Africa to understand UIF status, what to ask your employer, and how DomestiSure SA Employee Self-Serve helps.

What UIF status means for you

If you work more than 24 hours a month as a domestic worker, your employer should register you for UIF. DomestiSure SA lets you see registration progress when your employer links you with an invite code.

Checklist before you ask for help

Confirm your full name and ID number match your employer’s records, keep a photo of your ID ready, and ask your employer for the DomestiSure join code if you are not linked yet.

Affordable Employee Self-Serve

Workers can register on the Employee Self-Serve plan to manage their own details, papers, contract signing and help requests — without needing an employer Family or Individual package.
