Adhoc Work & JSA

MarieAAP

Hi Folks

I am being made R, and have come up with the idea of offering to my employers, that if they need someone do some additional secretarial / admin for a few hours when things are really over stretched, how would this affect claiming Contributions based JSA? (which is what I think I shall be getting).

Now, I am not anticipating this to anything more than say 5 hours a month - so not a lot of work.

The advantage of this for them, is I can work remotely, know the formating, QA, folder systems etc, and they don't have to pay Agency fees / training time etc, purchase a few hours at a time.

And for me, a little bit of money occassionally - this is still on the basis that I am still unemployed.

But I certainly dont want to rock the boat with the JSA.

So does anyone know how many hours I can work per month, what is minimum / maximum £ that can be earnt before it changes stuff.

Thanks

Ignore this post folks.

Just found it by putting in diff words in google, i get the answers :P

1st £5 is free
The rest of the money earnt is directly taken off e.g. U earn £20, £20 less from your JSA.
As long as its under 16 hours.
