you're better off doing the odd casual work and signing cos you'll be stopping and starting all the time, wait till you've got a regular thing before coming off cos there is also a HUGE backlog, used to take about two weeks for everything to get tru but not now, guy i know is waiting 14 weeks for his first cheque, he'll get everything backdated but still really sux. could just be his area but he's not fron the ghetto or anything.Can someone explain this to me again please?
What's the story if you're temping (or doing some other sort of fairly casual work)? Can you claim dole on your weeks off? Is it essential to do so for the reasons that Goff mentioned? How does one go about sorting this out?
thats more a means tested thing then, you'll have to show them proof. fill in a form on casual documents saying when and where you worked and how much you were paid, you'll still get paid once you're under the pay treshold, think its about 270 a week so once you get less then that for 2 days you'll get the dole for the rest.Aye, but as I understand it you go into them and say "Hey I did two days work last week" and then they take two fifths of your dole off you for that week.
What I want to know is how all that works exactly. When I go into the dole office to sign on for the first time, what do I tell them exactly?
Dole offices vary. Some will ask you how much you earned on the days you declare some wont and will just dock the days you claim.
jaysiz. bag o'cans. long time no post. is this what you mean: quit job/sign on/go gallivanting for a week/hand in required shit? I really wouldn't have thought there was a time limit between starting a new claim and getting all of the relevant info back. they just process your claim when you bring in everything that they need and backdate your accumulated benefit from the first day you came in to sign on. maybe there is a point when a claim becomes invalid, but I'd imagine the timeframe would be a lot longer than a couple of weeks. sometimes things like getting a p45 from an employer can be really annoying and take ages so they probably have to account for that kind of shit.How soon do you need to get all your forms back by after you apply? I'm not looking for a free holiday but had previous plans to go away for a week+ the day after i finish my job. If i apply do i get ten days or something to drop back p45 etc?, can't remember.
Bingo.is this what you mean: quit job/sign on/go gallivanting for a week/hand in required shit?..
you won't get anything with 20 grand in the bank...stick it in the credit union/biscuit tin/under the bed etcI'll have to get on the scratcher soon and all. Tell me, what happens your free money if you have savings above €20k and your rent is €650?
Huh?And remember, if you've been working, savings don't count if you qualify for Benefit (as opposed to Assistance - or Jobseekers as they call it nowadays).
Bingo.
your p45 observation makes sense and has somewhat set me at ease. True, i've not set foot on these shores for many a year, i knew where to come for some crafty advice though.
