I have 14 contracted hours a week at work (but usually bump it up to 30 with over time).
I got told yesterday, by a friend that because I only have 14 contracted working hours that I'm entitle to some benifits? Does anyone know if there's any truth in this and if so how I go about claiming it? Coz I could really do with some extra beer money haha :) x
Im sure it depends on what benefits the company gives?
Just phone up your local neighboring center.. they should be able to give you a clear answer to your question.
you're northern so you're entitled to a bit of sympathy ;)
jokee. and um i dotn know it depends on company policy i reckon
If you work fewer than 16 hours a week, you may be able to claim Income Support or Jobseeker’s Allowance.
A bit?!?!Quote:

It depends what age you are and whether you're in full time education.
I work 16 and a half hours a week, I'm 17 and I get no benefits and I'm in full time education. Most people can't get benefits until their a bit older.
I think it's only if you're working full time, but have a low pay, otherwise I don't really see why someone should get benefits when it's their fault they don't work enough hours. And you have to be out of a job to be getting Job seekers allowance - which doesn't apply to you.
But if you're really looking for the country to pay you for nothing, you can always contact Jobseekers Plus, they'll happily do it.
Go to the citizen's advice buerau (wow I spelt that badly), they'll be able to tell you I think :)
