Hi, I have done the document with my employees details. I saved it to a csv file exactly as per the instructions. When I try to upload the csv file I keep on getting the message that only CSV files will be allowed and mine is in the correct csv file format. I spoke to someone in the call centre this afternoon and they told me that they are experiencing a problem at the moment with submitting. Anyone else who had the same problem.
Hi Yvette Erasmus
I am experiencing the same problem. When I select to download my csv file, it just go’s to their example note. Were you able to upload the csv file?
If yes please give advice. I trying very hard but battling with the online submission. I’ve even tried to submit it by not useing csv and typing each employee adding to system, but their current remenuration not activated.
Hi
Follow the steps to convert to CSV (check for any errors).

Hi
For TERS application purposes, the UI number is the 8 digit number in the format ‘1234567/8’ and not the U-number with SARS on the EMP201 or confirm the correct UIF number on https://uifecc.labour.gov.za/covid19/ under ”Get your UIF reference number”
I had a similar problem. Completed all the sections up to where I had to upload the “verification of bank account” document. This needs to be on pdf, which it is, but I also get an error message telling me it can only load pdf docs.
Hi
The TERS site only allows for the upload of bank statements in “pdf” format – perhaps try another time when their website is less busy.
I am trying to register on the New Portal, but it keeps on bombing out the information I cannot get further than
putting in my UIF number then it says format incorrect.

Morning, thanks for the financial support we received from UIF covid19 however it is a sum paid into the company purse. Kindly indicate on the following
– is this a one month payment
– what percentage will the company use to pay each worker or how do you calculate the amount per worker salary
Hi
The TERS claim would only be for the period you applied for on the application itself (shutdown date from : shutdown date till).
TERS will issue a reply on the exact amount to pay each employee per the TERS claim submitted (the total to tally with the payment received by the employer).
Kindly direct your technical queries to the Department of Labour/TERS call centre on 080 003 0007.
Hi,how once the csv is uploaded how long does it take for the employees list to populate on the portal?
Hi
TERS having problems with CSV files – manual upload per employee is a safer option/method.
Please direct your technical queries to the Department of Labour/TERS call centre on 080 003 0007.

I HAVE REGISTERED ON THE NEW PORTAL BUT CAN’T GET ANY FURTHER. IT BRINGS UP THE MOA BUT NOT CHOICE TO ACCEPT IT OR TO UPLOAD ANY DOCUMENTS. I’VE TRIED PHONING AND EMAILING BUT NOT LUCK
Hi
You would need to scroll down on all the grey buttons (on the right side of the screen) to get to the end of the page where the “Accept” option would become available.
I am currently not employed but i was paying UIF when I was working so how do i apply or I don’t qualify.
Hi
You would need to contact the Department of Labour directly on 0800 843 843 or 012 337 1680 for further assistance in this regard.
Kindly update me on the following
– the payment received is a monthly amount we will be getting on monthly basis
– should we apply on monthly basis or this will be effective on monthly basis till September month (the process end of lock down)
– we have not yet received the breakdown for the payment of each employee
Hi
TERS is a monthly claim system and is effective 27/3/2020 for a lessor period of 3 months, or until the lockdown comes to an end. The breakdown of payments will be emailed to the employer or made available on the employer’s account on the online TERS login.
The proposed end of lockdown we submitted is September (March to September)
My question is that:
– should we apply on monthly basis or the amount or payment received will automatically be paid to us monthly till September
– if my assumption is correct then on what date should we expect our monthly payment.
– still waiting for the breakdown for the payment of our employees
Hi
TERS is a monthly claim system and is effective 27/3/2020 for a lessor period of 3 months or until the lockdown comes to an end. The breakdown of payments will be emailed to the employer or made available on the employer’s account on the online TERS login – payments would be effected to employers once it has passed UIF validation.
It is not yet clear
Should we apply on monthly basis or the first application will automatically cover other months we apply for (March to Sept) as per our application
Hi
TERS is a monthly claim system – each period must be applied for separately as per the TERS system.

Hi
TERS is an Employer-based claim system, however, please direct your queries to the Department of Labour/TERS call centre on 080 003 0007.
