    Minister Harris is suggesting schools re open one day a week. As I lost my job ( school bus driver) , I got the Covid payment.

    If I then work doing the one day , is the payment then removed? Or , pro rata , reduced.

    Thks

    Can't see school buses going back for a while even if schools reopen for a day or 2 I think parents will be expected to drop them. Like you might have some chance of social distinsing in a school but no chance in a bus.

    If they are only bringing them back for 1 day a week it may be possible to keep social distancing on the bus. I assume the teachers will be doing a full week in the school it'll only be the students that do 1 day each to enable social distancing. So they will need to transport the students 5 days a week with only limited numbers on each trip.

    This explains how to close the claim.

    As other poster said, job will probably be 5 days with reduced passenger levels.

    However, if someone starts working 1 day/week, they will lose the Covid payment. If they are working 3 days or less, they can apply for Jobseekers Benefit/Short-time.
