do what ap007 said. if not the only other way would be to sign off, break all contact with the provider and dont even tell the jobcentre the name of the employer. one thing to consider though is if the job ends before the date when you were due to leave the wp then you would be refered straight back to the provider.graduate2012 wrote: »Does anyone know if you Have to tell the work programme your employer's details when you get a job?

I was asked again what my job goal #1 was today and I told the adviser Senior Purchase Ledger or Purchase Ledger Supervisor and the reply was 'what's that'?
This is from an EMPLOYMENT ADVISOR!! I said it twice 'purchase ledger' to which I then got a shrug of the shoulders

You don't HAVE to tell the provider anything, when you don't attend your next appointment, a flag will come up on their system and they will inform the DWP that you haven't complied and raise a doubt.
You will get a letter saying you claim will be stopped if you haven't got a good reason. Well of course you have got a good reason!
At the jobcentre, you can either go in and fill a form in or send your UB40 with the details of your end of claim date on, you don't have to tell them what you are doing, just that you will stop claiming on the (date).
Once you start work the jobcentre and work program have NO power over you, but remember, you might have to go back and "re-engage" if the job doesn't work out.0 -

I did!
It's all automatic, I told my WP advisor I had a job, but I still got the letter. I don't think they know how to stop them being issued. In fact, that girl didn't know anything about the system.0 -

No if you fail to attend the WP fill in a WP08 form and send it to the DWP who then write to you.
They pretend they know nothing but they all know how to fill in a WP08 form!We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
