Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi all,

    Friend of mine works 2.5 days per week- it's in a business effected by the Pandemic and her hours have been cut to 1.5 days per week. She's not even sure if this will be temporary or not if things pick up.
    My question is- is she entitled to claim Jobseekers for this one lost day? I "think" she is but I'm not 100% sure. I assume it would be pro rata of the weekly allowance?
    If so would she get back pay? She's very easy going and wouldn't go looking for this.

    She is entitled to claim - but that doesn't automatically mean that she'll get it!

    There is no way that the payment can be backdated unless she can put forward a convincing case as to why she didn't claim it immediately after her hours were reduced.
