lolo62

hi,

i work in a private music school where we get paid by the hour for the time i work and i have always been entitled to sign on christmas, easter and summer when the school is closed.

my hours have just been cut (for the second time) and im starting to really struggle financially. i work three days at the moment. i heard something about being able to claim for the other two days before but have never needed to until now. does anyone know if i am in fact entitled to do this?

thanks!

Depends on your income as you are only entitled to 197 euro per wk if your income for the tree days exceeds this its a non starter PS how much do you charge per hr as would have three potential students.

thanks! if i only have work 36 weeks of the year though is that 197 a week over 52 weeks or the 36?
theres an ad up on adverts for my lessons probably against rules to discuss here!
