So am working 16 years for the same company, and recently found out that they only registered me from 2012 for UIF, no record of any previous registrations. In 2012 the company changed from CC to PTY company.

So do I report them? It's 15 years of money outstanding.....

Were they deducting UIF prior to 2012?

UIF will pay out for a maximum amount of time worked anyway. It's not like you will get more for working longer than a certain maximum amount of time (can't recall the exact time period). And the UIF is cash flush.

Yes pay out length is based on how long you have contributed to the fund, and mine is now just 4 years, so I assume the pay out length cannot be the maximum time.

And secondly, they did take money from me and never paid it over....

It seems anything over 4 years employment makes no difference, you get paid for 8 months then. You'll get paid UIF for 8 months whether you worked, 6, 8, 10 or 20 years. Just saying for information purposes.

Maximum UIF payout is based on 4 years' contributions, but report them anyway. If they weren't paying over your UIF deductions what other deductions were they holding onto?
