    Hi here is my story. I'm signed up with a Construction Agency iv got 4 days work in last 3 weeks Pay rate is only €70 day after tax costs me €30 to drive to site and back 3 hour daily drive
    I'm trying to Weigh up is it even worth the hassle.
    What happens if I don't tell SW if iv done a days work ??does it come up on the system??
    Is it worth my while going on Casual Dockets? Ideally I'd like to get full time direct employment and not trough an agency.

    What happens is fraud.

    You need to tell SW as they will be notified by revenue and then you will be investigated. If you go on casual dockets and your gross pay is €70 per day then for every day you work €30 approx will be deducted from your payment. If you work more than 4 days you will not be entitled to any payment.

    Well its your gross less prsi and union dues. So a rough estimate without deduction of prsi and union dues is for everyday you work €54 will be deducted. Thats assuming €110 is per day.

    Yea was in with my Citizens information officer Friday and he even said it's not financially worth your while going off the dole paying €100 week on petrol + other costs. If the work was local then it might be different story.
