Claims Management Directorate
The Claims Management Directorate should be responsible for awarding humanitarian claims and processing wage payments settlements from the DSC, recovery of claims from employers, maintaining case files, and coordinating with other government departments. Humanitarian support, wage claims, and recovery actions would be managed by separate units (see Annexure 1 for a breakdown of the different units in the Claims Management Directorate).
(...) Workers are highly likely to visit its offices seeking information on how to lodge wage claims. In such cases, the Fund should not accept wage claims directly from workers but instead refer them to the Labour Relations department for settlement before the DSCs.

This suggests that a national wage subsidy policy would need to be widely advertised and information and support provided to firms who would like to claim the subsidy.
However, the impact of the voucher among those individuals who were employed in firms who claimed or enquired about the subsidy was much larger than the broader estimated effect. (...) The subsidy
amount was capped at half the wage or R833 per month (which ever was lower) and could be
claimed for a minimum of six months or until the R5,000 that each subsidised individual was
allocated ran out. (...) In 2010, these individuals
were re‐interviewed and a random selection of these were given wage subsidy vouchers and had the
process of claiming these vouchers explained to them.

Finally, as mentioned above, it is also possible to claim back wages in informal negotiations with the employer.
(...) At a minimum, such workers should be systematically informed about their rights and possibilities to claim unpaid wages and social security contributions upon detection. (...) Similarly, in Belgium, prosecutors could include more routinely the charge of non-payment of wages on the indictment as this would allow workers to claim them rather than having to launch separate civil proceedings to claim them.
