Calculate JSA docket

Hi. Offered to take up one day a weeks work where I would get 8 hours work for 10 euro an hour and would be paid in cash. I was told that I would have to take care of my own PRSI however one does that aswell!

If I am getting 188 a week on JSA dole how much a week will a single living a lone person get if they work one day a week on the x and o slips? Thanks

If you employer isnt going to pay prsi for you then it looks like you will be working in a self employed capacity. Means for self employment are calculated differently to paid employment. You case will be sent to an inspector and earnings from self employment will be projected and broken down into weekly means.

There is an argument going on since the dawn of time on self employed versus a paye worker.

I'm not going to give you legal advice but look into it as you are very likely to be classed as prsi class A, and welfare will be interested in ensuring this guy pays up.

Always remember, just because this guy tries to set himself up to pay no prsi, call you self employed etc, does not preclude you from being classed as a paye worker.

Thanks but but I don't understand ye. How much would be taken of the normal 188 rate? Thanks

If you are in paye employment €36 for one day worked will be taken off. If self employed hard to say as inspector will project earnings for the year and then there would be deductions for costs etc.

Question) If you are on X's & O's, and you do not work a week.. does that mean you would get the full €188?

Thanks for the replies.

Am I right in saying this (roughly)

If I work 1 day a week and do 4 hours work on that day and I earn €40 from employer ( I don't know how much of that will be PRSI my employer said they would sort out for me if I gave them my pps number)


Is this how you calculate it?

Subtract 20 from 40(wage) get 60% of 20 aprox 12 euro means my payment from the social will be aprox €176 per week?

Someone else (eastbono) above in the posts said its €36 a day less you get. I am confused.

Thanks.

I just want to know is it worth taking up the few hours I might be getting.

Shamrocks it depends on what your gross daily earnings are. You are now giving different figures. If you earn gross less prsi €40 per day and work 1 day per week then the figures you have now calculated are correct. In your first post it was €80 per day which would give a deduction of €36 for each day you work.
