Confused about part time work and job seekers

    Hi guys

    I've been on the welfare websites and cannot make heads nor tails of my entitlements.

    I am working two days a week, equating to 15hrs and do not claim any benefits. 157€ is my total weekly income.

    I understand I am entitled to some proportion of job seekers but am having a hard time working it out and wondered if any one knew the score?

    Also does my employer have to sign off on a form each week to say how much I've worked?




    2 days per week
    15hrs @ 10€ per hour
    Work Wed and Friday
    No other income.

    Have you always worked these hours or have your hours been cut lately.

    I have been in college up until now, so I was working these hours while studying but now I'm finished, in the process of applying and there is no more hours available where I currently work.

    I don't think you are entitled to claim for the other days as you have always worked those hours/days and you havent suffered a loss in wages, I.e your hours hqvent been cut.

    You can still apply and see but I would doubt you will get anything as you haven't suffered a loss in employment as you've always worked those hours
