#4 EPISODE 3: The Ins and Outs of UIF (Part Two)

Loading player...

In this episode of The Nanny Diaries we continue in our quest to wrap our heads around the Unemployment Insurance Fund.

So, now that we know that registering for UIF is important and *why* it's so important, we start unpacking exactly *how* you go about it.

Sam Steele speaks to UIF consultant Estelle Carstens and takes us through registering your nanny step for step. We also touch base with some real moms who've attempted to register their employees on UIF, and we learn from their experiences.
