two jobs on short time

[Peggy Longst]

Until two years ago I worked full time for same employer then had to go on three day week I complained at the time they offered me two days work in one of their other businesses that brought me back up to five days from two employments.
Now its short time again in both jobs - I will have three days between the two jobs.
What should I Do? ask for redundancy from one and work three in the other?
What about SW? will they combine the days worked and pay me for two days that I'm not working ?

I take it that the businesses are separate companies. If not, then you will not be able to claim redundancy. If the two jobs are for different companies, then you can apply for voluntary redundancy if you have been on short-time (which by definition is when you are put on less than 50% of your time/wages) or lay-off for four weeks or more, and your employer can't guarantee you 13 weeks.

As long as you are not working for three days out of six (they don't include sundays) you can claim Jobseekers for the days that you aren't working.
