Does UIF pay on weekends?

In many countries, including South Africa, UIF payments are typically processed on weekdays, Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays. This is due to the operational hours of financial institutions and government agencies involved in disbursing the funds.

However, it’s worth noting that exceptions might exist for urgent or critical situations. For instance, if a weekend or public holiday falls near the regular payment date, the funds may be processed in advance or delayed accordingly. These exceptions are often determined by the policies and procedures established by the UIF or the governing bodies responsible for administering the program.
