On 2 day week: What am i entitled to ?

[imedia]

Sorry not sure if this is in the right section...

I have been on a 2 day week since January, I was told it was going to be for 6 months to help the company but when I asked for my wages to go back up I was told no. 3 other staff members higher paid than me have since left and I am now the only one on a wage cut.

I work 2 days a week at 8 hours a day....

What if anything am I entitled to, I also have a mortgage to repay.

If you're available for work for the other days you may be entitled to Jobseeker's Benefit.

Have a read of the sticky post at the top of the "redundancy and unemployment" forum which will give you more information.

Depending on your total household income & the mortgage, you might qualify for Mortgage Interest Supplement, which is administered by Community Welfare Officers at the local health centre. This is a means-tested scheme, all household income is taken into account.
