Pizza delivery and dole

Chocablock

Hi everyone. My jobseekers benefit ran out this week and i applied for allowance. I must see my community welfare officer to be able to get this. I have also been offered a job in a pizza place doing deliveries however the place is just after opening and he doesnt expect more than 2 or 3 deliveries a day for the first few weeks. The pay is only 5 an hour and 1.50 a delivery. I was thinking of taking this job aswell as claiming jobseekers allowance until it got busier and I was able to live off it. 6 hr shift x 5 days a week x 5 an hour is 150 a week base pay. Prob another 50 for all the deliveries. So 200 plus my 188 dole. What im asking is, is there any way i can go on casual and be able to get partial dole. He said i wouldnt be on the books but he asked me for my PPS number so i am confused.Before anyone says i shouldnt work while on the dole my rent alone is 110 a week so how the hell am i supposed to survive on 90 a week for food,petrol clothes etc. Thanks.

How is that legal?
So if business is quiet you earn less then minimum wage?
And are you driving your own car? You need to declare it to your insurance company and your premium may get jacked up
Slave labour going on here, never waste a good recession says the business owner

And if you're working five days a week, well you can't claim you are a casual worker or get partial dole
And for working off the books, well plenty of delivery drivers out there are cash in hand. Most of them I'd guess, how does a business owner declare they pay five euro per hour

So 200 plus my 188 dole.

Call into your local office and get the forms form your employer to fill in in order for you to claim casual JSA.
