How Unemployment Insurance Fund status maps to payroll status
Summary
In your payroll, each employment status maps to a specific Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) employment reason on the UI-19 report. This applies to Sage Payroll Professional.
Description
The Department of Employment and Labour defines employment reasons for the UI-19 report. Your payroll uses different labels, but each employment status maps to a specific UIF reason. Use the table to match the status on the Employee Information screen to the correct UI-19 employment reason.
