Making clear it had not reached its deadline yet, the department said they have seen a spike in online traffic in the last two days, which slowed down the entire system.
Pretoria – The Employment and Labour Department on Thursday refuted claims that it has reached its deadline in processing relief claims during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The department said that in the last two days, they have seen a spike in online traffic, which resulted in a slowness on the entire system. "The fund has also improved the functionality of the online system to enable employers, employees and organised labour to be able to see which companies have been paid."
The department said since April 16, UIF has paid out R 4 473 126 648.12 in lockdown relief scheme for the benefit of 1 110 729 workers.
