Through uFiling, Employers (Commercial and Domestic), Agents or Tax Practitioners can easily declare and pay UIF contributions online, view all previous declarations and contributions made, and receive notifications about future declarations.
Simply capture or update employer and employee details when needed, including salary and employment details, uFiling will automatically prepare and populate your monthly declarations for review before you submit.
Please note: All information populated on the UI declarations are retrieved from the information you captured for employer and/or employee(s). Declarations can’t be modified or edited, you need to update or correct employer or employee details, which will update the declaration in turn.
Employer Initiated Claims (EIC) was introduced by the UIF to enable the employer to log a claim (individual and bulk) on behalf of the employee.
You can visit the U Filing website for more information

Employers should be encouraged to do Employer Initiated Claims on behalf of their employees whose services are terminated or who will be without an income for a short duration of time.
This will solve a lot of problems for employees who are experiencing problems when applying for Unemployment Benefits.
