    Hey all, I am currently on reduced casual JSB - the full amount I would normally get if not working is €130. Given I work one day a week it is usually about €105. However I just got a cheque in the door for 84.40. I don't understand why I've been deducted even more - the only thing I can think of is for St.Patrick's day (that they don't pay out on this or something?) Many thanks.

    You're right about deduction being in respect of St. Patrick's Day.
    More details here:

    Part-Time/Casual Employees

    Casual or part-time employees must have worked at least 40 hours in the 5 weeks ending on the day before the public holiday to establish a statutory entitlement to pay in respect of a public holiday.

    Part-time or casual workers are not entitled to Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance in respect of paid public holidays.

    NOTE: Good Friday is a bank holiday not a public holiday therefore employers are not legally required to pay in respect of that day. If the employer does pay in respect of Good Friday, JA/JB is not payable.

    PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
    There are nine public holidays:
    New Year's Day
    St. Patrick's Day
    Easter Monday
    First Monday in May
    First Monday in June
    First Monday in August
    Last Monday in October
    Christmas Day
    St Stephen's Day
