Potential job

Stercus Accidit

I have an offer of a potential job, the thing is they said they want me to work two weeks before they decide if they keep me on, and also wont know for three weeks if they will have enough work for me anyway.

If I come off the JSA I am afraid I won't have money for 6 weeks if this jobs falls through and if I have to wait on the JSA to go through the works again.

What are my options here, I don't have any job security at all to make a decision, can I go to the social welfare office when I know I will still have the job and return any payments in the mean time?

Do I have to come off it straight away and if the job falls through, will I have to wait 6 weeks again?

Thanks.

maybe ask the welfare office to suspend and not close your benefit that way if you dont get the job full time you wont have to wait 6 plus weeks to sign back on
