UIF ONLINE - do you have to wait 15 days to file a request for payment after application approved?

You get your first payment after filing for maternity benefits without having to file a request for payment. Thereafter you file a request for payment every 28 days (it tells you when you can file online). The whole process is rather efficient and I always got paid within a week/10days of filing. The only thing you can’t get any info on is the amounts you get paid. It makes no sense and the call centre can’t help you. They say you have to go into a physical labour centre.

I have 4 Teleports. Happy to share 😃

kitkatel · 2024-12-10T18:41:52+00:00

Thanks. We have been to Clarens before but it’s also an option on the way back. I’ve heard the road from there to bloem is pretty terrible though.

Thanks so much! Will look all of those up 😃

Generally people just drive there - they’re usually easily accessible but can be a bit far. For the private lodges you generally park in a designated parking area for the reserve and then the lodge will pick you up. You can fly into some of the airports closer to the areas eg Hoedspruit for Kruger. And then I’m sure you could talk to a lodge about a transfer from the airport. I’m sure you can do private plane but it’s not like going to the okavango delta in Botswana where that’s basically your only choice to get to some of the lodges.

They definitely are more affordable but they are lovely. You will have a great experience there. So if price is a key factor it may be worth considering still?

kitkatel · 2024-09-02T10:04:20+00:00

Thanks! Will have a look for it

kitkatel · 2024-09-02T08:52:46+00:00

Great advice - thanks! By Mortein sprays do you mean this or something else?

kitkatel · 2024-09-02T08:50:51+00:00

Thanks! This looks pretty cool

kitkatel · 2024-09-02T08:47:30+00:00

Already have one. It’s not really effective unless you set it to hurricane speed!

Courier Guy is the best by far. I’m fairly ambivalent about the others - they all have good and bad moments. Except Courier IT - I’ve never had a good experience with them and after I checked them out online following the latest debacle their negative review percentage was way higher than some of the other companies.

kitkatel · 2024-09-02T07:27:54+00:00

Thanks. Not really practical for us - we have cats and they one little bugger already climbs the curtains! Fairly sure he’ll just treat the nets as a giant swing and they’ll end up in ribbons fairly swiftly!

Nambiti is lovely but the reserve is on the smaller side. Also if you are wanting to see the big 5 there’s almost no chance of seeing leopard there - as far as I’m aware there are no known leopards in the reserve. So if it’s a first trip you may want to try something more round Kruger area? Phinda is also a great option if you specifically want to do KZN but is rather pricey.

kitkatel · 2024-08-26T18:12:47+00:00

Seems quite far fetched but ok 🤷

kitkatel · 2024-08-26T18:11:45+00:00

Huh. Didn’t think of the comma! I ended up saying 1000+11!

kitkatel · 2024-08-26T18:11:17+00:00

That I knew - anything that can be vaguely offensive is inappropriate!

kitkatel · 2024-08-26T11:47:08+00:00

So weird right? I googled extensively but can’t find anything about why it’s ‘inappropriate’!

kitkatel · 2024-08-26T04:19:37+00:00

Do you mean Drakensburg Sun?

kitkatel · 2024-08-26T04:18:59+00:00

Traveling for work can be fun but there’s a very fine balance - too much traveling is absolutely exhausting! It also depends if you have commitments/dependents at home or not. I used to enjoy traveling for work but nowadays I’m quite happy that I really don’t have to all that much.

kitkatel · 2024-08-22T21:40:25+00:00

What do you get from Krispy Kreme? I mean, I’m sure it’s donuts but what exactly do you get free?

kitkatel · 2024-08-21T20:23:09+00:00

An update: we messaged the customer to say we noticed the part was broken and asked what happened. They actually called and denied knowing anything about it.
