  • my bad. I don't use the Jobcentre so misunderstood.

    I still hold a point that if people are working on those days why they simply can't sign jobseekers on those days is beyond me. I guess its good news for the Jobseekers :)
  • I cannot see the point in visiting the job centre, one can see the vacancies on line, why can't signing be done remotely. Get rid of job centre staff and save the government money.

  • I suggest you get your facts right before you come on here spouting garbage & trying to cause trouble where none exists!

    Who rattled your cage? Without going so low as to flame people, you are just a pathetic bully picking on the small post count I have. Get over yourself! I misunderstood and was corrected. I have no problems with that. I can take criticism, but can you?

    There is postal signing sometimes, but the Jobcentre staff are still needed to process the forms sent through the post.

    Yes but why at the places where they interact with the public? they have to have guards etc couldn't this form processing be done at the bdc's?
