Once off €1000 job while on the dole?

    I will more than likely be doing a job for my friend while working at home over a period of one week which will earn me €1000 euro.

    I am currently drawing the dole.

    Can some one let me know what I need to do to keep everything above board?
    And let me know what the situation is here? Do I just lose the one weeks dole?

    Out of interest, what would happen if someone in my position did nothing?

    Cheers!

    You can do an odd job just tell them how long it will take. 3 days 5 days what ever you think and they take that amount from your dole rather than the 100euro.

    I asked as i thought i would be doing some drawing for people but the job never went ahead. But thats what the social told me to do, just tell them at your hatch after wards. ( but i would say it before hand just in case you need to sign something)

    JA or JB? It matters in this case, as they take savings into account on the one but not the other. And a grand is a whack of dough.

    Tell them in advance.

    You're not available for work for those days, so yes, you don't receive benefits for those days.

    If caught, you'd be prosecuted and fined, and possibly jailed for fraud.

    why don't you just do this "job" as a favour instead?
    without legal tender passing hands.
    you mite get a gift as a way of thanks! :):D
