    Does anyone know what you need to do to transfer from systematic to casual? I believe this is what happens when you go from a 3 day week to a 1 day week. If you are not transfered then you can only claim based on 5 days as opposed to 6. Is that correct?

    From [url]www.welfare.ie:[/url]

    Employment on a casual basis implies that the number of days worked will vary each week with the amount of work available. There will be no established pattern of days. This variety will also be reflected in the wages paid. A set weekly wage regardless of the hours worked would not be treated as casual employment. Variations in hours/days worked must be due to the employer's requirements, as opposed to a work pattern chosen by the employee. In addition, there must be no guaranteed minimum hours or wages each week.


    In determining whether/not a person is working on a systematic short-time basis, Deciding Officers should consider:

    whether there is a history of full-time employment, e.g., more than 6 months with the same employer.
    whether the person's decision to commence short-time working is voluntary/involuntary.
    whether it is the intention of the employer that the short-time working arrangements will be temporary. The likely resumption date should be noted and the position kept under review.
    During the course of a claim, regard should be had to developments within the firm/company. For example, if the employer has taken on extra staff or has staff on overtime since the introduction of short-time working, the systematic short-time arrangements no longer apply. In such cases, the person may be re-classified as a part-time worker.
