UIF TERS is a Government **** - they do NOT provide relief to approved applicants entitled to relief

UIF TERS is a ****! I am a director of a non-profit company with just one employee! I managed to get paid out for the periods March 2020 to September 2020 after using the services of an audit/payroll company as submitting myself was not working. The the doors were opened for tourism enterprises to claim for Oct to Dec 2020 and then Jan to March 2021. Well they threw every obstacle in the book at me - from your SARS SIC code is wrong - which I proved was not true. Then the tourism industry arranged a Zoom meeting with Allan Ragavaloo - highly ranking official of UIF - we got over 2 hours of explanations on how to make claims. This was mid April and he advised that claims already submitted would be processed that week and he only had 132 to process. This was a lie - I have had to call their call centre taking tens of minutes to be cleared to get past the SARS SIC code block. I have emailed and submitted claims at least twice a week since mid April and even got hold of what they advised were UIF claim Champions! And WOW the Champion for our province has actually returned my emails and promised to have our claim (FOR ONE EMPLOYEE) escalated to be paid. But the fact is that n o payment has been made to date! How is a small business supposed to survive when the the relief promised is not paid out?? It is scandalous! And then one looks at the latest restrictions - restaurants which were hobbling along with only 50% capacity (which does not even get them to break even) are now closed completely!! Take-aways only! Yes the taxis continue to operate with 100% capacity! SO the UIF TERS relief is a lie and **** - they do NOT provide the relief promised to the very small number of industries they say are entitled to relief!
