Applying for JobSeekers - first time

    I am currently filling in the application for for Jobseekers - I have never claimed any state benefits before and have been working for over 25 years. I am in this job since April 2007.

    My employer is putting me on EWSS of €350.00 per week and my query is on the form it asks if you are still in employment what are your gross weekly earnings. Do I put down what I would normally have earned when I was working full time (5 days a week) or do I put down €350.00 as that will be what I will be earning for the next few weeks/months.

    Thanks for any help.

    Put down the €350. I can't see you being entitled to much if any jobseekers though

    Agreed, whilst technically salary seems reduced which is questionable on its own, there is the reduced hours payment, approx €40 per day but its not clear in OP if hours being actually reduced and I'd have to question SW paying anything if OP Getting €350 albeit a reduction in salary, also if its reduced hours payment this will require employer to confirm this weekly, tricky one to be honest.

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.
