Hi there
Ive been told from august im being cut to a 3 day week. My boss said she will give me the relevant letter to apply for social welfare payment. She said its only until business picks back up but because she dosent know when that is its pretty permanent i would think. My question is i will be entitled to jobseekers benefit. Some people from their posts are on 3 day weeks and claiming the other 3 days and some people are only claiming 2 days and im a bit confused as to why this is the case. If my boss states in her letter that my situation is only for a short while will this effect the rate of pay i get.. as i see it im being put from full time to part time. I have no problem in getting a further job on the days im not working as im well able to work but with the recession in full swing i think that might be v. difficult.
thanks in advance.
