Jobseekers' Allowance

seven-day-weekend

So if you were sacked just because the boss didn't like you, you could receive it straight away, but if it was for , e.g. bad timekeeping and a wrong attitude you would be sanctioned?

That makes sense.

Depends on lots of factors. The main one being, did the actions of the Jobseeker contribute to the dismissal and to what extent.

Remember the maximum sanction for this decision is 26 weeks.

Sometimes it may be 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.. or no fault at all.

All depends on the information to hand, given by both employer and Jobseeker and then a decision is made, not just on whether to sanction or not, but also, how long to sanction for.
