Nixers

Madam_X · 07-08-2012 09:50PM

Don't see anything wrong with it whatsoever if the amount of income from the nixers isn't enough to live on alone, especially with children/other dependants. It keeps people on the dole focused and productive, which is obviously better than having feck all to do all day - something which I've no doubt the naysayers would also object to.

There's a difference between doing a nixer & claiming dole & doing a nixer to pull a weeks wage out of it & claim.
I know a few people that will get the odd job here & there but it wouldn't be worth their while to declare it.
People signing off & signing back on can take weeks.

The latest I heard was that some young lads were actually refusing the nixers because they were content with the dole money and would rather sit at home watching the olympics with a pack of crisps in hand. I know someone who has fierce trouble getting someone in to do the nixers for this reason. Not saying the dole is too much or anything because these are lads living with mammy and it wouldn't be enough for someone with bills to pay

No problem with it provided the nixer isn't a 39 hour a week nixer while claiming the dole as well!!

Being honest,
Is it really 'wrong' to do a full time job and get the dole? ...

On one hand someone can say its illegal, not contributing to the country and doesnt help us get out of recession .... on the other the government wants to tax us to death.

Truth be said everyone is out for themselves. I think life isnt fair and perhaps people are right to work the system.

Madam_X · 07-08-2012 09:56PM

Would those who object to people on the dole doing nixers have a problem with employed people doing so? E.g. an electrician who's employed by a factory sorting out an electrical fault in the neighbour's house for a few quid?

Hi folks I'm after gettin a job so I can afford to go over to Vancouver for 10 days to a mate of mine livin there
Planning on September first or second week
Well flights are extremely expensive
Why is this so?
Is there any 'secret' sites that do very cheap
My mate said fly to Seattle and get a bus up which is only an hour drive and flights are little bit cheaper but I'd rather fly direct and not risk anything
Any advice on who to go to and what website
Also will I need a temp visa
Thanks

Nope.
Those kind of jobs are rare & as you said its only for a few quid.
Also it's kinda hard to spend large amounts of cash without getting noticed & it's just dangerous to keep large amounts of cash at home or at a business premises.
Let's not forget if it is a nixer that the sum of money isn't going to be huge.

So you think that people can just live off f all money and survive?
When before losing job they had everything and no problems but deserve to be punished altogether for being let go through no fault of their own?
Majority of yas are talkin through your holes

Sorry, had no idea your very survival was at risk! You're literally saying that your survival is in danger without supplementing your social welfare??

A hell of a lot of people survive on their social welfare and I'd hazard a guess that a few of them are in bigger holes than yourself.

I know people that work in trades full time and claim JSB/JSA, nothing that I'll do about it in terms of ratting them up but please stop trying to rationalise that what you're doing is OK, and I'm the one talkin out my hole?

I get what you are saying but it's not fair because people are taking advantage of the system. It's not something to support.

Would you have any issue with walking into the social welfare office and telling them you are "only doin a few nixers" ? Im sure they would say, ah yeah dodderrangler belt away its not like youre doing anything wrong !!

dodderangler · 07-08-2012 10:17PM

As matter of fact mate when I sign on the girl does ask how the job search is goin and I say not good but kept going with some nixers bout 2or3 a week and she says least I'm keepin busy instead of sittin on me arse

eth0 · 07-08-2012 10:18PM

I had someone from the social welfare before encouraging me to go on the dole even though I didn't need to

Glad I dont have those pressures.

Pull the other one.....

Actively encouraging you to "keep busy" working for cash in hand instead of looking for full time employment, you've got a very active imagination!

The fact that you answered the question the way you did in this blatantly false scenario also makes me question your sanity!

The only thing I ever heard from the girl behind the desk is "sign here" and "you're next signing date is..."
(yes, I was unemployed before, surprised?!)

If you've so many bills to pay then maybe a VW Polo or a Micra would be more fitting than a sports car, a Scooby certainly wouldn't be a priority for most people in your circumstances.

To be fair I have a friend working in welfare & there's plenty of people going into her that do nixers & she knows it.
One of them recently repainted her kitchen a few weeks ago as a nixer.

I don't understand how that is construed as stealing?

If you have one taxed job that pays you €400 a week and you decided to DJ on the side for a bit more, are you stealing from your job?

He/she should declare earnings from the DJ job as well. It is pretty simple.

Income should be taxed that is the law of the land.

He is not stealing from his job (not sure where you are comimg up with this) he is just underpaying his total tax. He benefits and by definition with less money in the system/state coffers everyone who pays their complete tax obligation is marginally worse off (as they dont benefit from undeclared earnings but will end up paying more in tax long term to make up for the tax cheats).

If more income is undeclared the people who pay their taxes will end up paying more.
