The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) in the North West province has urged clients to visit their nearest labour centres to access services and ease the burden on neighbouring centres experiencing a high influx of clients.
\nThis follows a surge in demand of UIF services at the Rustenburg and Klerksdorp labour centres, compared to other offices within the same proximity.
\nAccording to Sena Mhlongo, the UIF Director in the North West, all the labour centres in the province are offering standardised services, irrespective of the area in which they are situated.
\nMhlongo cautioned against having an influx of clients in one centre, as it may have an impact on the turnaround times for efficient claims processing.
\n\u201cTo ensure efficient service delivery, we urge clients to utilise the offices that are within their vicinity, as processes are standardised in all our labour centres. Rustenburg and Klerksdorp are not different from any [labour centre],\u201d Mhlongo said.
\nThe department has 10 offices around the province and these are found in Mafikeng, Rustenburg, Klerksdorp, Brits, Lichtenburg, Potchefstroom, Vryburg, Taung, Mogwase and Christiana.
\nMhlongo said that all these offices are equipped to render all services of the Department of Employment and Labour. In addition, there are identified visiting points where mobile services are rendered and the schedule is accessible at the local office.
\nFor any other enquiries, clients are advised to engage the labour centres managers.
\nClients can also visit the department\u2019s online portal that is available 24 hours and can be accessed on the departmental website www.labour.gov.za. –<\/p>\n
