TUS Programme

I’ll just turn up with my seetec papers to confirm that I’m attending. Just don’t understand the mess in the system.

Hi guys doing seetec one month in already my advisor is lovely I have to say- but got a letter from social welfare to attend a claim review with one of the officers???
I thought once I’m on seetec I don’t have to meet any advisors or have my claim checked ??? Trying to ring the social welfare but they never pick up....

They never pick up the phone there either drinking tea or coffee or simply to lazy the best advice I'll give you is save up and make a better life don't get suckered into schemes there a waste of time

Tus scheme I'm currently cleaning a club house was ment to be four hours three days a week instead of that it's 2 hours a week the employer doesn't even bother to ask if I need anything and when I do his wife gets involved it's cheap labor and they constantly give out

that sounds like $hit. I would of imagined everyone on TUS would be out like most people until this isolation is over, surely cleaning whatever crap isnt really essential given current period even thou i dont agree with much parts of whats closed or not but above seems aint right.


if nickname is any indication take some holiday or whatever time use it all if needed lookup retail in your area, some opportunities to be had if one is desperate for a job and its quite a good time, as depending whos your case officer on TUS and how long you got, this crap wont give you any benefit down the road.

Can I ask what part of the country do you reside? How long have you been on the Tus scheme for? Are you working in the clubhouse exclusively during the week? At any time you were never forced to go anywhere else outside of the work you do in the clubhouse?

Mayo I'v been on this nearly a year three days a week I was forced in the beginning to cut grass and lift heavy items then I was transferred to the clubhouse working by myself no one else around . It's a waste of time cheap labor

Hey all do not be suckered into a tus scheme is had the most worst experience in my life my employer was a complete a hole texting me at all hours of the day plus emails and phone calls I had been cleaning a celtic clubhouse and due to covid19 it's closed until next month he wouldn't listen nor stop the abuse I had no choice but to leave from it

Can I ask how did you leave from it? You usually can't leave a Tus scheme placement without there being repercussions.

Can you elaborate on your negative experience with your employer? Why was he bothering you so much? Did you make a complaint?

This might be bit of a tangent but I have to say I'm quite surprised that I saw Tus workers in yellow vests working around town etc during the Covid 19 crisis. I would have imagined that all Tus activity would have been suspended until it was safe again(At least Tus activity involving groups of Tus workers as opposed to someone working by themselves as a groundskeeper).

I couldn't believe that there were Tus workers packed into lorries travelling around town to work on certain things(landscaping etc) during the epidemic. Is that kind of work so extremely necessary that workers have to subject themselves to the chance of being exposed to the virus?

forced is bit ott is it not. Did you bring these issues up with your tus supervisors not the client supervisors what would issue be if you were workig on your own in clubhouse. Would you be able to do other things in clubhouse after the core duties of the job were done as thats what I was able to do when I worked in club on this scheme.

if employer was texting, calling you at inappropriate times then what did you do about it? What did tus supervisor do about it/know about it

I was cleaning the bathrooms front entrance back entrance kitchen bar area hall floor and back hall supposed to be 19.5 hours a week only done 40 minutes at a time and when I'd run short of cleaning products I'd get no response or anything he was starting to show up to my house and texting me at all hours of the day too so glad I droppedout

If you dropped out wont your payment be suspended?

Dude19 wrote: »

It's been ceased already but intreo said he can't herasment me

So what are you going to do now that your payment has been suspended? Do you have a plan? I remember reading that they can suspend people's payment for 9 weeks....

How are you going to get it re-instated?

Also, can you give an example of the kind of abuse your employer gave you? What was he actually saying to you that caused this situation? Can you elaborate in detail?

There on Monday he called me a lazy f***** a****** started saying I'm useless and never done the job they way I was assigned to do and stocking me too when id be cleaning the club house

Leaving the expletives aside, I agree with him that you couldn’t have that amount of work done properly in 40 minutes.

Report him. He’s not suited to the job. His wife doesn’t enter the equation.

Finally, I thought that all CE and TUS schemes were not operating during the pandemic, but participants were still being paid.

Its a small building half the time the place would be clean so I'd have to clean the kitchen and leave his wife would just show up asking did I clean this that etc **** it anyway glad to be done

That's not true at all - I've seen Tus participants doing landscaping work/litter picking around my town regularly during the pandemic. These are guys that are working in close proximity to one another a lot of the time. I'm very surprised by it actually. Is landscaping work etc so incredibly important that people's health should be put at risk by it?
