    Yes - you will be on casual job seeker's allowance (presuming you qualify) and will have 1/6th of it deducted each week for working on a Saturday. You fill out a yellow slip each week and are required to drop it in to your local SWO once a week (instead of signing on once a month). Payment will be by cheque in the post, normally arriving Tuesdays. You must note that you work Sundays, but it is as you say a "free" day, and you will not lose another 1/6th. I am unsure whether you now need to update the social welfare on your job status or wait until you qualify- maybe someone else can answer this for you.

    First of all, congrats on getting some work! Its not easy to come by!!!!

    Anyways, Pop into your local SW office and notify them that you have got some casual work, and that you want to be put on Casual JSA. This will mean that you will have to fill out the yellow slips once a week and drop them into the office. By doing this, you no longer have to sign on once a month.

    You will be putting an X for Monday - Friday and an O for Saturday and Sunday.

    They way it is worked (for now anyway, god knows what the next budget will bring) is that the rate you are entitled to (we'll say €196.00 for now) is divided into 6. As you are not working 5 days, you'll be entitled to 5 days JSA = €163 approx. They may take your Saturday wages into account as means, but it won't affect your payment too much.
