Can someone explain to me who is meant to pay me for Bank Holidays. I claim SWA for myself and the wife, I got a part time job for 3 days a week, however that has now been cut to just one a week. When a bank holiday comes around SW deduct a full days dole but my employer says he only has to pay...

Fair enough, but if you are fulltime you would get your normal weeks pay and and day off, while part time workers like me ( and its not by choice its the only job I could get) are less well off moneywise and still do their full week - 3 days in my case, so no day off. Actually I've just work out...

I reason I'm down money is because I'm not paid by SW for the Monday (Bank Holiday) I normally get €48, so when the job pays me for that day I only came out €40. I known its not much in the difference but as my other half is also now unemployed the €8 at least pays my bus fare in and out of...

Can someone explain why on the weeks with a bank holiday you only get 1/5 of your normal weeks pay for that day. Just started to work Wed-Fri and as SW dont pay Im down money. Normally get €100 per day, so 1/5 of this is €60 but I now pay more PRSI & USC so only came out with €40 for that day...

Thanks Gipimann, thats a clear formula that you've laid out.

At the moment myself and the wife are both unemployed having lost jobs last year and are now on Jobseekers Allowance. I've been offered a part time job which will be for 2 days a week at the moment and the pay is €90 a day. Currently I get €196 for me and €130 for my wife. Would we still get...

Well technically he won't be unemployed as he will be working in another country so does he still have to wait 4 weeks and what documents does he need in order to submit his application and can he do this online.

My brother is finishing his current job at the end of July as he is moving to Bilbao in nothern Spain to take up a teaching post there. He was wondering if he could claim his tax back before he goes or do you have to wait until the end of the current tax year.

Just to make sure that we are talking about a boiler for oil and not gas as I know a service for gas boiler was always cheaper.

No new parts or anything else, €250 was just to service fee. God I really paid over the odds.

Wow €90 thats a big difference, thanks for that.

Haven't had my boiler serviced for about 3 years, so I think I need one done. Anyone know how much this would cost. I used a local guy last time and he charged about €250 but now can't afford that much so I was wondering if this is the going rate or was it excessive cos of the boom times. Also I...

Just received a letter from SW this morning stating that my JB is due to run out shortly and that I must fill out the attached forms if I wish to apply for JA, which I have now done and posted back to them. But I was wondering how long this process takes. Is it likely that my JB payment will...

Thanks Welfarite, Are you saying that I will lose €50 per week or I will only get €50 per week sorry for sounding a bit thick but my head is all over the place what with this impending redundacy.

Thanks for that, will look into it

Thanks for the replies but say the worst comes to the worst and after JB has run out cos now it's only for 12 months is all of my savings taking in to account. This money is my pension that I saved myself because I knew that I wouldn't be able to join a regular pension scheme ( I saved whatever...

Thanks for the quick reply, however I meant would I be entitled to Jobseekers Benefit.

I have personal savings of €60,000 which I have saved very hard for over 32 years of my working life. This money was to be used when I retire as I have no pension. Now the company I work for is talking about making people redundant and someone said that I won't be entitled to anything cos I have...

Yes I am going to give the form to him, but he is not sure how long this short term leave will be for, basically it depends if business picks up. If not I could be on 3 days a week for the forseeable future.

Thanks mcb, fingers crossed that I can get the same as you as every bit helps
