Jobs Bridge Internship

leanonme

I am due to start an Internship in the coming week, and I was under the impression that if I managed to get agency work I would be able to do this without it effecting my payment, however recently someone told me that it would effect your payment.

Could someone advise me on this. If I do manage to get agency work, which could be 1 12 hour shift this week none the next and 2 the following week. How would this effect my payment. Would I need to attend the welfare office to inform them of the one shift I did this week, or what way does it work. Because my Internship is due to be 5 days a week, so I don't know how I am meant to attend the welfare office also.

I taught it would operate like the TUS programme where ya would be able to work along with it with out it effecting your payment.

Can I do additional part-time work outside my JobBridge hours work part time?
While you are participating in JobBridge, you may do additional part-time work provided your work does not affect your internship and your employer is not your host organisation. If you get a part-time job you must continue to meet the conditions for your payment and you should inform your local social welfare office as your income from work may affect your social welfare payment.http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/unemployment_and_redundancy/employment_support_schemes/national_internship_scheme.html
