Jobseekers Benefit & Part Time Work.

craftylady72

Hi there, Ive recenty lost my job & Im wondering how much per day are you docked by Social Welfare if you do part time work while in receipt of Jobseekers Benefit (€188 per week)?
Im trying to figure out if its actually worth my while working the couple of 6 hour shifts or not? Dont get me wrong its not that I dont want to work, (been working since 1996) but will it really make any difference to me? The rate of pay Ive been offered is €9 per hour.

Thanks all!

Do you need to call in to them to get this organised, or do they post stuff out?
I've been trying to get through on the phone all day without success, so I'd rather save the hassle if I need to go in to them anyway.

No you have to call into them. Can't be done via post for the first time.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but if I work two or three days part time how much do I get from Jobseeker's Allowance then?

How is it calculated?

It is 7 days or 6 days?
