    Hi - your claim will last 312 days as far as I know.
    So you will be claiming 2 days per week for all the weeks you are on a 3 day week. You can't claim Bank hols - your employer must pay them if you normally work them and if you don't he must pay 1/5 of your previous weeks pay.
    If you become unemployed then you will be claiming 6 days per week.
    Hope this answers your question.

    It depends on how long you have been working previously and how many stamps you have built up. I was on a reduced working week for most of last year (it varied from 3 day to 2 day to 1 day, and about 4 months of no work) and my stamps lasted a year.

    If you are on a 3 day week then you can claim for 3 days as it is done on a 6 day working week, not 5. So you can get paid for 3 days from your employer, and get 3/6 of the jobseekers benifit payment, that is half of €196. As the other posters notes you cant claim for bank hols.
