    I'm currently on jobseekers 2 weeks now and have been applying for jobs. I just did an interview for a job I really want but it's only 7 days straight then off for 3 weeks.
    Does anyone know will I be entitled to my full (or any) payment for the weeks that I'm not working?

    Also as far as I know the training will be for like 3 weeks straight and then il be doing the whole week on 3 weeks off, will that affect it?

    Thanks in advance :)

    To claim JSA you need to be a jobseeker, looking for and available for full time work. If you are employed you wouldn't fill those conditions so no you wouldn't be entitled to anything.

    Check with your local office. There is a "casual" working category which allows some work whilst still receiving (reduced) payments, not sure if it's applicable in your situation but it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Way to misinform people.

    Op there's a scheme both for casual workers and week on week off etc. You should qualify for either of these although you have to be looking for and available for full time work either with your current employer or another one. That means actively looking for work in other places.

    You have to satisfy the other conditions but if you already qualify for jobseekers then you should qualify for this payment. If only on the weeks you don't work. Obviously the week you work will not be paid
