Hi there
I am currently on gardening leave and will stop being paid in May. I am looking for a new role but I am at senior level and there are not too many opps out there at the moment. Nevertheless I will keep looking. In the meantime I have been given the opportunity to do 12 hours work a week in a totally different area than I work in. This would be a type of consulting in the HR space. I would have to set myself up as a sole trader. My question is. If I don't have a new job by the time my garden leave is complete will I loose my right to the dole? I am guessing yes but I just want clarity on it.
Also want to double check - can I set up as a sole trader while on gardening leave? I know I can't work for another company.
Thanks for your time.
