Casual worker on JB - holiday entitlement

Hi,

I am on jobseeker benefit since recently but had already booked a 2-week break in the coming weeks. That was before I lost one of my jobs...

My question is: what way does Social Welfare calculate my holiday entitlement as a casual worker? I know from the SW website that:

"A person may receive Jobseeker's Benefit or Jobseeker's Allowance for 2 weeks holidays (i.e. 12 days excluding Sundays) in any calendar year. These holidays may be taken abroad."

but I am slightly confused about how it works for casual workers.

I currently work 3 days/week so I am getting JB for the other 3 days. If I go away for 2 weeks holiday, does this mean that I need to take 3 days x 2 weeks = 6 days holiday from Social Welfare, or do they consider that I am taking all my JB holiday?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help on this.

No distinction made between casual claimants and full claimants, so you can take 12 days in the calender year, 6 days now and 6 later

Thank you for the info Welfarite.
