JSB cheque

Lollipops23

i've only started getting JSB and got my back-payment last tuesday; as i'm deemed to be a "casual" worker (ie my hrs change from week to week) i get my cheque in the post.

my query is: do i get paid every tuesday via the post or is it every couple of weeks?i know they probably told me already but it's hard to get solid nuggets of fact out of the lingo they spout!(at least in my local office!)

also,will the bank holiday affect it?

A cheque will issue once a week to you, as long as you submit your docket on time every week.
It may be a day late this week because of the bank holiday (all depends on the post really when being paid by cheque).

I've just gone on to dockets.

What happens if you're late submitting it?

Also, there's a bit for the employer to sign, does this have to be done? What about cases there the employer is on a different site to me? (I have a nasty feeling that dockets are going to go massively astray if I have to post them to the recruiter I'm temping through, and then trust that the recruiter will post them back to Welfare). What if I get temping from more than one agency in a week?

If you have dockets that require an employer's signature, then this has to be done - otherwise they will be returned to you.
This requirement will be removed soon, in fact my brother received new dockets in the post today that no longer require an employer's signature - your next batch of dockets may not need a signature.
If you are late submitting your docket, your payment is suspended until the docket is received.

I've started getting some casual temping:

I missed my signing day ('cos I was working), sent them a letter explaining and went in the very first day that I could (20 July). It was all fine, and they were very happy to switch me to dockets. I submitted the first couple there and then. (And by my calc, at that stage I owed them three days because I'd picked up the previous weeks payment).

Submitted my next docket on Thurs 23 July (a day late), next on 30 July (also a day late), and next today (on time!).

Today (5 August) I got in the mail

- a cheque for my full payment (I'm on 1/2 rate due to not enough credits), for 9-15 July (ie dates when I'd told them I was working 5 days)

- and a green form asking me to sign that I wasn't working 16-29 July (ie periods that I've submitted dockets for, saying I was working for some of them).

Obviously I'll have to go and see them (on the next day when some work doesn't turn up), and I need to start keeping myself some very detailed records.

But should I deposit the cheque in the meantime, even though I think they've overpaid me?

Can anyone explain the green form, and why it turned up? (It's not one that I'd heard of before)

Anyone got any thoughts on what might be causing the problems here - is it just administrative errors, or are there some factors I don't know about for people on half-rate?
