An unpaid internship and a weekend job

LegacyUser · 2013-07-05 15:13:18

Hey everyone, Just wondering, I am currently working part-time and cannot find work with my qualifications because I do not have experience, I have heard that I am entitled to claim for the days I don't work. Also I have been offered an unpaid internship for 4 days midweek to gain the experience I need but now I am curious…

Hey everyone,

Just wondering, I am currently working part-time and cannot find work
with my qualifications because I do not have experience, I have heard
that I am entitled to claim for the days I don't work.
Also I have been offered an unpaid internship for 4 days midweek to gain
the experience I need but now I am curious am i still entitled to anything
should I work the the paid weekend, and work the unpaid internship in the
mid week??

Thanks in advance!

The issue of payment is immaterial if you decide to take up unpaid employment for four days per week since JSA requires that you must be available for work in order to qualify.
