    Sorry but its not the same and I have detailed how it is not

    Wages would be a lot more than £280 therefore meaning I could pay back the money I have borrowed and then pay the next months bills in advance
    I'm sorry, but it is the same.

    Not everybody gets money off the Jobcentre for starting a job, it only applies for certain conditions. So that means anyone starting work will usually have to wait a month for their first pay, that is life these days.

    Twenty years back, most firms changed to monthly pay, the workers were up in arms about it. You just have to get used to it.

    What are you on about? I started work in 1987 and have always been paid monthly

    Work this out

    Bills £280
    Borrow £280 from family member
    Get JSA and end of month for £280
    Pay person back
    How do you pay the next month bills?

    IF however I got a job id still borrow the £280
    Get paid a lot more than £280 in my first months wages and pay back the £280 then pay IN ADVANCE the next months bills as Id have wages to pay it from.

    end of
