    Hi all, I am working part time 3 days for 1 year and on JSA now, my employer looking to give me more working hours and full time with no contract and insane rate, what can I do to keep my employer happy and don't lose my jsa? Can I get FIS if in full time contract? Can I refuse to move to full time as there is no new contract for me? Can I leave this job and claim jsa only ? Please note my currant contract is finished and I was on flexible hours and the employer looking to use the same old contract with no new valid agreement .
    Thanks any help please

    Yes you can claim FIS on full time work, surely the aim is to work rather than retain the jsa.
    Tell them you'll only change hours with a proper contract in place, once your getting min wage the rate is up to yourself to negotiate.

    Hi Brian, thanks for reply. my employer thinks that the old contract is fine and no need for new one once still working with them and hardly do new one, also told me if I refused to work full time he won't sign the weekly form to my jsa! Any idea for answer on that one? Thanks a lot

    It sounds like you were employed on a fixed term contract which has now come to an end and your employer wants to offer you a new fixed term contract with increased hours but with the same, low, hourly pat rate, is that the situation?

    Or is it that he just asked you to work more hours but continue at the previous pay rate?

    Ask them for a full time contract, there is no real reason why they have to increase your hourly pay however

    The old contract does not end just because you are increasing hours. All the terms and conditions remain the same the only change is you will now work 5 days a week instead of 3.

    One of the conditions of getting JSA is that you are available and looking for full time work.

    If your employer is offering you more hours and you refuse them, then Welfare will find out about this sooner or later, and you will likely lose the JSA anyway.

    What do you mean by "insane rate"?
