Unjustly claiming from the U.I.F

The U.I.F is a fund primarily established to assist unemployed people. During the lockdown period, many people were left temporarily unemployed due to the lockdown, hence, many people were left in a financial crisis and difficulty. The relief granted by the government was to assist such individuals, hence, companies that were unable to remunerate employees were permitted to claim from the U.I.F.

This relief was not intended for employees that were employed and earning during the lockdown period. Therefore, it is incorrect for the said accountant to claim from the U.I.F.
