Yes. Section 33 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act requires an employer to give a written payslip on every payday, and to keep a copy for three years.

UIF is 1% deducted from the worker plus 1% paid by the employer (2% total), calculated on the gross up to the monthly ceiling of R17 712, so the maximum each contributes is R177.12.
