Quick question about jobseekers.

    I have been working part-time for the past 3 months. All was good at the start but I'm now only working a 8 hour contract. It is flexible contract so I could end up working an extra few hours a week.For example I worked 8 hours this week and I'm doing 14 next week. Should I be able to get job-seekers allowance on a flexible contract?

    I looked online and it said it would be grand if I work under 4 days a week. What if I work 5 days a week one week.

    Cheers if anyone can help as Im confused as feck.

    If you have suffered a loss in employment then yes you can apply for Jobseekers.

    Generally if you work 3 days or less a week you can claim for the other days.

    If you worked 5 days in one week for example, you just wouldn't receive a SW payment that week.

    Summary: Yes go in and apply to your nearest SW office for Jobseekers.

    The Loss of Employment applies to Jobseekers Benefit only.

    You do not have to suffer a loss of employment for Jobseekers Allowance.

    Put point hans_ made is the same "Yes, go in and make a claim".
