    I work seven 12 hour shifts(11 paid) in 2 weeks.

    Every second week I work a sunday and 2 other days that week - As far as I know thats only counted as a 2 days so would I be entitled to any payment for the other days?

    If you work 3 twelve hour shifts a week this is counted as full time work and you are not entitled to any sw payment.

    So you have a full time job, but that's not good enough? You want money off the state? Have you not noticed we are bankrupt? That post is what's wrong with this country...

    Yes even though one of them is a Sunday it is considered a full time job. It is 36 hours a week.

    7 x 12 = 84hrs

    84/2 = 42hrs per week average

    I'm sorry, but how in gods name could you even think you'd get welfare?

    That's a full time job! More hours than me

    If your job pays you SFA then you need to look at:

    A) a better job
    and/or
    B) a 2nd job

    Welfare can't and SHOULDN'T help you out

    If your doing 12hr stints you probably should check if your getting shift allowance and IF you are entitled to it

    I was just wondering if I was entitled to anything since I knew one lad working part time and a sunday and he'd come out with the best part of 370e a week -

    Also it might work out at working 42 hours but I'm only paid for 77/2 = 38.5hours

    I do get shift allowance - I was just wondering if I was entitled to anything else since it seems everyone is at it but it seems not but thanks to the helpful people anyway.

    Its not a problem asking if you were entitled to anything... ignore the negative posters... you may be entitled to family income supplement check out the link below
