does any one know of any reputable companies that offer this type of work ??

I have worked from home for almsot a year. There are genuine jobs out there, you just have to look around.

You're off sick but looking for work?!

That's taking the p*ss! Sick pay from your job and an extra income on the side! If you're well enough to do "at least 16hrs a week", you're well enough to go back to work! :mad:

just to set the record straight, i am not getting any sick pay either from my employer or the benefits system,
what i was trying to say was that when i am well enough to return to work i would like to work from home.....(which is in a few days time time)
i have no intentions of working while off sick, i am just starting to look now for when i can return to work...i am not a person who fraudulantly claims benefits on the side

Actually I never mentioned benefits, but since YOU did, I’ve had a look at your posting history…

job centre have confirmed i will be getting incapacity benefit, so do i need to inform tax credits ??

so i just tell them i am off work sick and claimming incapacity benefit as i cant get sick pay through work ?

So the first sentence I've highlighted isn't entirely true – IB is a form of sick pay from the benefits system... And if you were to leave work, continue claiming IB AND manage "at least 16hrs work a week" from home, then I believe the second highlighted sentence would be true.

i have been off sick a couple of weeks, still waiting for incapacity benefit to come from the job centre, they now have my sick note showing i am fit for work from monday......i know incapacity benefit is sick pay i was on it for 5 years due to a disability

In that case I would resend your CV. What e-mail address did you apply too?

Have you checked your spam folder?

Could you tell me a bit more about each of these and how much I'd expect to make per month. Can I ask what is it you do also as I'm not keen on telesales. Please pm if you prefer - I appreciate your time.

Hi
I have a friend who is looking for people to do data entry / typing on the computer working from home.
Please let me know and I can give you the details.

I'm due to be made redundant within the next year and have fancied working from home for a long time. I have a pc and internet connectioon but would rather not do telesales. I'm happy to do data entry but my concern is the salary - I have a figure in mind which I need to make per month. I'm not in a position to do this job but I'm interested in finding out the pay in order to rule out this kind of work in the future. Please pm me if you rather. Thanks for help in advance.
