Dear Members - please be advised that the BIBC have negotiated with UIF/TERS to have their deadline extended and members now have until Friday, 17 April 2020 at 5pm in order to get applications through to BIBC.
Please communicate this to any individuals you may know who are making applications to the BIBC.
Below for completeness are the details of the process to follow.
Complete the documents as requested [Only complete applications can be submitted. This is especially important for the Excel spreadsheets that were provided. Blank fields in this document will be rejected by the UIF system]
Use only the templates provided [There is a separate spreadsheet for hourly/daily paid staff and salaried staff]
Submit only relevant documents [Do not submit documents that are currently not required. If we need further documentation, the individual assigned to your company will contact you directly]
Proof of banking details [This is required for all salaried staff, new staff and changes to banking details. Advise your employees that banks are registered as essential services if you have not filed this document as part of your payroll management processes. Many banks will also provide this confirmation document in response to an email request or online application]
Do not apply via the BIBC if you:
Have already submitted an application directly to the UIF;
Are not registered as a company with the UIF and contributing on behalf of your employees.
