    I am 21 so on job seekers i was getting 100 euro weekly, now i will be working 3 days a week (about 23 hours a week) and i asked by how much will my job seekers be reduced and they told me it would depend on my wages.

    So has anyone any ideas on what it might be if i were say getting minimum wage and might they cut it completely?

    Thanks.

    I think it depends on how many days you work as opposed to hours. I think if you work 4 days you will still get 1/3 of your allowance (sat is included). Not 100 percent on this though.

    If you are working > 3 days excluding sunday you will get nothing. Your employer will be given a form to fill in to state what your wages are and sw will calculate what if any sw payment you will get. If you are getting minimum wage for 23 hrs you will certainly be better off working than on sw.
