Thanks, it says you have to:See here:
Jobseeker's Benefit (Self-Employed)
Jobseeker’s Benefit (Self-Employed) is a payment to support people who lose their self-employment.www.citizensinformation.ie
- Be aged between 18 and 66
- No longer be self-employed. You must have lost your self-employment involuntarily and not because of a temporary shutdown or seasonal closure.
- Be unemployed (you can work as an employee for up to 3 days each week)
- Be capable of work
- Be available for and genuinely seeking full-time work
- Have enough social insurance (PRSI) contributions
That's probably a good analogy. AFAIK they never push this condition as it's hard to disprove that an employee didn't leave voluntarily.It's probably like the PAYE employee condition for qualifying for JB where they say that voluntarily leaving employment may disqualify you for a period of time but they don't always push this?
I agree. It wouldn't be "involuntary" though.Selling up and getting out of the business is a legitimate exit to unemployment a far as I can see.
Thanks I had a look at these.no longer be engaged in self-employment, that is, completely ceased trading as a self-employed person. A self-employed person who is between work contracts is still considered to be engaged in self-employment.
You can be unemployed as a paye worker and have self employment and still qualify for Jobseekers Benefit (paye).
I presume they mean that you can work up to 3 days a week and still claim some level of JB depending on how much you are paid for those 3 daysCan you expand on that please and thanks
Reckonable income is effectively the net profit declared by self-assessed individuals
