    I understand which is why i said i wasn't sure if it extended to working hours or not.

    No you don't, I'm sorry but I can;t allow misinformation to posted because it may be to the detriment of others.

    Of course they do.

    It doesn't have to be only one job. Many of us work 2 or 3 jobs at the same time. It hardly needs demonstrating. Do the job centre really need people to draw diagrams for them these days?

    Yes it does.

    The first thing any DM would say is 'show me the vacancies'

    That is the information that was given to me when I went in with someone 4 weeks ago. I'm only repeating what wwe were told.

    Do they also require someone to follow them to the toilet and help them wipe their own backsides? I know they're not the brightest sparks in the book half the time at DWP but seriously, there are loads of job types which require weekend and evening working.

    Have we crossed our wires here..? the 16 hours relates to doing a course, if you do a course less then 16 hours it is deemed part time. If it is over it's classed as a fulltime course, as far as i was aware. Infact wasn't it you who told me this in another thread. I said or ment that i didn't know if the same extended to working hours ie over 16 hours working is classed as fulltime.

    There's no need to insult people. Yes those vacancies do exist. but, as far as I recall from learning to tell the time, the hours between 10am and 2pm do not fall in the evenings. And kids don't go to school at weekends.

    Listen, the OP needs advice from people who understand the rules, they don't need you and I arguing over them. The law is absolute, our opinions are not.

    No that's not correct. If I said that then I must have been very drunk and apologise.

    You do say it was your job. Are you sure things haven't changed a little since it was your job.

    What are you getting about about the hours? Which bit of it don't you understand? I've just listed the hours that can be worked. Anything other than that is not possible.

    The OP is more than entitled to update their agreement with these hours.

    There are jobs that operate with these hours.

    I think you are arguing to just try and make it sound more fancy than it needs to be. The OP can work between 10-2pm (lots of restuarants/pubs/ schools/offices etc will have vacancies within these hours) after 8pm, lots of pubs will have hours such as this and weekends (again there are loads of companies that require staff to work weekends).

    I'm not trying to insult anyone, but you don't need half a brain to get your head round that there are jobs that require these hours to be worked. Why anyone would need it "proving " to them beggars belief. A little common sense wouldn't go amiss surely?
