UIF Submission Software for South African Businesses

Every employer has to declare UIF to the Department of Labour, every single month. Bluubin pulls the numbers straight from your payroll and produces a ready-to-submit UIF file, so monthly compliance takes minutes instead of an afternoon of spreadsheet wrangling.

Key Features/Benefits

Several methods, same amazing result

UIF is one of the most routine parts of running payroll in South Africa, and one of the easiest to slip up on. Every month, employers must declare each employee’s contributions to the Department of Labour: 2% of remuneration in total, split as 1% deducted from the employee and 1% paid by the employer. Get the cap wrong, miss a month, or forget to flag a non-contributing worker, and you’re exposed to penalties and admin headaches. Bluubin handles all of it automatically. Your payroll run feeds straight into a clean UIF declaration, ready to submit the way that suits you best.

Excel Export

Export your full UIF data into a clear, easy-to-read Excel file for manual submission to the Department of Labour. Ideal if you prefer to review every figure yourself before declaring, or keep an offline record alongside your payroll.

CSV for uFiling

Generate a machine-readable CSV file formatted for the Department of Labour’s uFiling portal. Bluubin produces the file; you upload it to uFiling and submit, so your declaration goes through cleanly without re-capturing employee details by hand.

Direct Email Submission

Let Bluubin email your UIF declaration directly to the Department of Labour for you. It’s the most hands-off route to monthly compliance, removing the manual step of logging in and uploading entirely.

UIF Audit Report

A Bluubin-generated report built for checking your UIF data before you submit, complete with non-contribution flags that highlight employees who fall outside UIF, such as those over the earnings threshold or in excluded categories. Catch issues before the Department of Labour does.

Why UIF submission goes wrong

The contribution cap

UIF contributions are capped at a maximum monthly earnings threshold set by the Department of Labour. Calculate above the cap by hand and you overpay; ignore it and you under-declare. Bluubin applies the correct cap automatically for every employee, every month.

Missed or late declarations

UIF must be declared monthly, without exception. A single skipped month creates a compliance gap that’s tedious to unwind. Because Bluubin builds the declaration from each payroll run, your UIF data is always ready when it’s due.

Untracked non-contributors

Not every worker contributes to UIF, and declaring them incorrectly causes rejections. Bluubin’s audit report flags non-contributors automatically, so your declaration reflects exactly who should and shouldn’t be included.

Monthly UIF, finally on autopilot.
