Pay Related Entitlement

[mickeyg]

My brother is having his working week reduced to 3 days (from the current 5) becuase the company he works for is going through a tough time. His question is can he claim any unemployment/Pay Related benefit for the 2 days per week which he is losing.

Thanks

If he's available for, and seeking work for the 2 days, and has sufficient PRSI contributions, your brother can qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit.

Pay-Related Benefit no longer exists.
