Hello, please could you tell me if I can claim money back that I have been paying to my employee, who has been off for 2 months now, from the department of labour? I have just spoken with someone from DOL in Uitenhage and they have 'never heard of this'. They did tell me that my employee needs to visit their offices with a bunch of UIF documents from myself and the doctor so that he can claim compensation after being off for a period of 3 months.
