Our service is to assist you by submitting your UIF application on your behalf
Being an expectant mom, whether it is you first child or not, is an emotional and exciting time in a woman's life. But for some working mom's it can be an unnerving experience if you work for one of the many company's who do not pay full salaries to mom's during their maternity leave.
And let's face it, there are nicer places to be than the Department of Labour with or without your newborn! Which makes the whole idea of claiming UIF while on maternity leave rather horrifying and daunting. It can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience.
UIF Maternity Matters is a company which has been operating for the past 4 years in the Durban area. We are able to assist with certain claims, including maternity, illness, dependant claims, on behalf of other people. This means that we can process your maternity UIF application on your behalf, so that you can spend your time with your baby, instead of standing in queues!
Our function is to provide you with the forms, instructions on how to complete the forms and check to ensure that everything is correct, as the department can be very strict with the documentation. Once everything is correct, we submit your application on your behalf as well as the monthly continuation forms, on your behalf, updating you along the way.
Moms are entitled to claim 4 months of maternity leave from the unemployment fund. And while the payments will never match your full salary (38% – 58% of your salary is paid) the payments from UIF can help tide you over this financially trying time.

Secrets to raising a well mannered child |

The importance of manners
It is such a beautiful feeling when everywhere you go people marvel at how lovely it is to be around your child, whether it be in a store, restaurant, friendly visit or classroom. It is not so lovely when you cringe inside at your child’s behavior, rudeness or lack of ability to interact confidently in a social environment. So, how do we ensure that we raise well-mannered, socially competent and polite children?
There are some basic strategies that are highly effective. Research shows that self-disciplined children are more self-confident, polite, compassionate and generally nice to be around.
1. Prioritize Courtesy
Commit to raising a courteous child. Reinforce politeness and the importance of good manners everyday so your kids know that that is how your family treats people in and out of the home. Being civil, respectful and courteous is expected. Period. You do not listen or give attention to mouthy, rude talking.
2. Be an example of courtesy.
Children learn how “to be” by observing us (their parents). So, remember to always say please and thank you, excuse me, I’m sorry, and speak kindly to and of others. Seeing you and your partner do this consistently will show your child that this is just normal behavior for your family.
3. Model new manners.
When my son was old enough (3 years old), we taught him how to politely order at a restaurant and ask for the bill. He feels so important and confident and of course, we always reinforce how his manners impacted the waiter or waitress, i.e.: smiles, laughter, happiness.
