What is UIF LAP?
The UIF Labour Activation Programme is an employment-focused initiative of the Unemployment Insurance Fund designed to help unemployed South Africans gain skills, workplace exposure and sustainable employment.
Approved programmes may support eligible costs connected to bringing unemployed beneficiaries into the workplace, including training, beneficiary stipends and certain approved workplace requirements, subject to the applicable funding agreement.
Potential business value
Workforce expansion with a clearer cost pathway.
- Supported employment and training
- Access to work seekers
- Skills aligned to workplace needs
- Potential PAYE savings through ETI
ETI may be up to R1,500 per qualifying employee per month during the first 12 qualifying months for the specified remuneration band, subject to SARS requirements.
A combined opportunity
Lower effective employment cost. More workplace capability.
Instead of carrying recruitment, development and employment costs alone, qualifying businesses may be able to combine approved UIF LAP support with available employment tax incentives.
