    How does the SW treat doing unpaid work experience ( for about 4 days a week for 3 months- with FAS ) and part time weekend job. Is it going through the yellow slips or other way all together?

    With FAS it could be fine. If its without FAS you would be signed off as you are unavailable for work (stupid huh, we have a massive qualified work force, many of whom would jump at the chance to work in exchange for their payment yet it is not an option) - go in and ask.

    Weekend work will get you the yellow slips - casual job seekers allowance.

    I hope i'll be able to do it with FAS. Someone in the office told me I can look for work experience by myself, and just let them know what is the company. Will be making lots of phone calls to SW and FAS to make sure everything is clear and legal, once I know I got both - work and WPP.

    Yes, you can do work experience with Fás but if you are doing work experience of your own accord (eg; not with Fás) your payments will be reduced as you will not be paid for the days you are doing the work experience.
