UIF
The Unemployment Insurance Fund, a statutory system that can provide qualifying short-term benefits for unemployment, illness, maternity, adoption, parental, and dependant situations.
Definition
UIF questions should be checked against registration, contribution records, employment status, termination reason, maternity or illness facts, service certificates, payslips, UI-19 records, Department of Employment and Labour filings, and claim status. A practical review should separate benefit administration from a separate dismissal, wage, discrimination, or contract dispute.
