hi, could I ask a question.

A friend of mine has just been let go from their job, it was through a petty misconduct - the company are not paying redundancy and are literally taking any opportunity.

He was working 3 days a week, was reduced down from full time about 4 months ago and has been claiming job seekers allowance for the other 2 other days.

his partner has a full time job, about 30k a year, they recieve the standard childcare benefits from social welfare.

he has been payin PRSI since starting work and has never claimed until the 3 day week came into effect.

what is the best course of action ?
will he loose the jobseekers allowance ?
does he have to wait > the socialwelfare.ie website said you have to wait 9 weeks before anything is paid ?

as said his wife is working, however they have 2 kids, mortgage, car loan, 2 bank loans.they had finally started getting things just this doesnt help!
 
I'd explore the petty misconduct - what did this entail exactly ? What procedures were followed - did any warnings, written or verbal follow ?
