Hiya well I was reduced to a 3 day week back in March from a 5 day week. The social welfare work on a 6 day week and take into account saturday work. A full week on the dole is 204e this is if you have enough stamps to get you the top amount. Therefore if you are working 3 days, you are entitled to claim for the other three days even if you don't work on Saturdays. Therefore divide 204 by 6 = 34 and multiply by 3 which is 102e. The only exception is on bank holiday weeks when your payment is cut down to 2 days i.e. 34 x 2 = 68e. Perhaps your friend didn't have enough stamps worked up and thats why she didn't get the top rate of benefit.Can't help you on the holidays though cos don't know anything about it. sorry! Hope that helps!
I was on a 5 day week, full time, and last February, put on a 4 day week, along with all of my work colleagues. This simply resulted in a 20% drop in gross salary. You cannot claim anything, when on a 4 day week. However, since early June, we are now all on a 3 day week, and like what the first replier stated, you are entitled to €34 per day, when on a 3 day week, but paid for 3 days, as Saturdays are included, irrespective if your job working days are only MON-FRI.
I have calculated that I will actually take home more money per month, being on a 3 day week, (including the s/welfare payments), then I was on a 4 day week.
