Hi,
I am due back to work full time in couple weeks following Maternity leave and am wondering could I go back 3 days per week and claim Unemployment Benefit (PRSI) on the other days? This would depend on my employer giving me 3 days instead of fulltime and being entitled to claim for 2/3 days.

Hi Clubman,
No, I was hoping to work part time so I could spend more time with our new addition. Just don't think I could afford to work 3 days with no other income and thought I would be entitled to use my PRSI to top up!! Thought my idea sounded too good to be true. Looks like its back to full time work soon!!
Somebody mentioned to me that I could based on not being able to juggle full time work with caring for family!!
