    I started a new job a few weeks ago and I'm on a three day week. I applied for JSA and I got a letter from the social welfare today. It said that under the means test I was entitled to claim and that they would deduct €24 for every day I work. €24 from what? They never actually said what they were going to give me.

    Also, I claimed JSA before when I was unemployed and when I got the letter saying what amount I would receive it told me which day I was to collect my payment from the post office on. The letter I got today didn't say anything about that. I know one of the other girls in work gets a cheque sent to her. Is this common practice, or will the money be sent to the post office?

    The €24 will be deducted from your personal rate which is €188. If you have a partner who is not working then you add an additional €124.80 and then €29.80 for each dependent child. So if you work 3 days in a week you will have €72 taken from your total weekly rate.

    As a casual worker you will be paid by cheque each week in arrears. You must complete a yellow (or white) docket with X's for days not worked and O's for worked days or HP's for any holiday paid days. These dockets should be in your local office by Wednesday each week and then you should receive a cheque for that week the following Tuesday in the post. The payment run for cheques is Friday night, the the cheques post Monday and should arrive on Tuesday.
