Pathetic service from UIF Services

Absolutely pathetic service. Zero communication after you pay the fees and a claim of 1 to 5 days turnaround time??? 5 months after submission of all the forms, my wife is still waiting for any feedback from UIF Services. They don't answer the phone or reply to emails.

Good day Johan, may i ask who your wife is? Also there is no turn around time for submission of maternity of 5 days. They take 4-6 weeks and lately with Ufiling they have been taking longer. Please could you let me know who your wife is so i can refer correctly. UIFServices

Her name is Leigh-Anne Liebenberg (Nel). I realise that after submitting it takes longer, but as per your adverti*****t "Fast, paperless Commercial or Domestic UIF Applications. Registrations handled within 1 - 5 working days." Well, after 5 months we still have no proof of registration or submission. We've called several times and during the past few weeks and the phone just rings without anyone answering. Today I called 3 times and my wife twice (I left a message on your phone and got no response). My wife sent you several emails (including today) and still no response. Another employee of mine (Shannon Blair), who also made use of your "service" has exactly the same complaints of zero communication from your side.

Good day Johan, I did reply to your wife, and I have had issues with my lines last week Friday, and yesterday. I managed to sort it out. I dont have anyone by the name of Shannon Blair on any emails either. Secondly the commercial and Domestic UIF is not Maternity UIF.

Also I only received an email yesterday afternoon from Leigh-Anne, and one two weeks ago regarding the employer forms, which i picked up there were issues on, and then apparently there was another commencement issue that the bookkeeper picked up on too.

Sorry this is coming in many messages, but there are only so many words i can type per message. The domestic and commercial is a simple UIF registration, and NOT a claim. If you have a look there have been many complaints about the issues the department of labour themselves have had. Not me!!

UIF Services contacted my wife and I this morning and will send progress reports etc through and promise to keep us in the loop. If satisfactory I will adjust my rating accordingly in the future.
