Bargaining Council: UIF Claim Information and Contacts during Lockdown

After the President's speech on 23 March 2020, the Council will be going into a full lockdown for the 21-day period.

Although our offices will be closed during this time, we will still maintain a skeleton staff to assist with queries and claims that will arise during this period.

Below you will find the e-mail addresses of the staff available to assist you with any information you might require.

The accounts@hcsbc.co.za e-mail address will also be monitored daily for any queries or questions and will be diverted to the particular manager or staff member that would be able to assist.

The information will also be placed on our website at www.hcsbc.co.za as well as our Facebook page.

Please see below the claim process for UIF as well as the documentation required. Should you need copies of the documents, please send an e-mail to frik@hcsbc.co.za. I will personally forward you the documents.

Please stay safe during this time.
