Re: Unemployment

Can a person collect unemployment while taking time off to prep for an exam then will return to work.
 
Re: Unemployment

You mean taking unpaid time off to study but remaining an employee? I don't think so. Also if they are studying full time surely they are not genuinely available for and seeking work in which case they would not qualify for Jobseekers Benefit/Allowance anyway.
 
Re: Unemployment

Thanks for the information. I did not think so but just wanted to make sure.
 
Double check with SW but I'm pretty that one would not qualify in such circumstances.
 
you must be available for full-time work and looking for work to qualify for Jobseeker's payments so therefore, you would not qualify while full-time studying.
