Leaving a new job within the probationary period

ShaniceM_2

Can someone tell me if JSA can be claimed when you leave a job within the 3 month probationary period? If not not how long do you have to wait before you can apply?

Thank you for your time.

Why are you leaving? Were you on JSA before starting?

You can leave a job and claim JSA at any time. However, if you voluntarily give up work without good reason you may be sanctioned for the first 13 weeks of your claim and get NI credits only.

Higher level sanctions (for example for leaving a job voluntarily) will lead to claimants losing all of their JSA for a fixed period of 13 weeks for a first failure, 26 weeks for a second failure and 156 weeks for a third and subsequent failure (within a 52 week period of their last failure).

See Turn2Us for examples of good reason why a sanction might not be imposed.

You should claim JSA immediately. Any sanction is imposed from the day of claim, so if you leave claiming you may still be sanctioned from the date of claim, not from the date you leave work.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I simply started a job that I cannot stand. I applied for a entry level job with a company and instead was offered a minor managerial position after several interviews. The environment and general specifications of the job are difficult for me to tolerate. I wish I had pressed them more at the interview on what exactly I had to do because I would never agreed to it had I had the full picture. I was told I would receive amazing training but I now know they were just telling me whatever they thought I wanted to hear. Or perhaps their idea of great training is not mine. I'm in a workplace where most of the staff behave in a very selfish and cruel manner. Most seem to be in fear of not hitting their targets and loosing their jobs. I have not been in for a week as I have been ill. I suspect I became ill because the workplace is very cold. I'm due back tomorrow but the thought of going back is really distressing me..

If walking away from this company means 3 months of no jsa whilst looking for another job than I'll deal with it.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply all.:)

It's not going to look good on your CV.

You're not going to look like a good candidate for future positions.

Think long and hard about this - you might be better off sticking it out and applying for another position while you're in a job; maybe you could ask your current employer to arrange for you to undertake the training you were offered.

OP

I left my job after training and was not sanctioned for all the scaremongering, that said I think I made it "easy" for the company (my moto best to walk then to be pushed that looks far worse and less damaging on a CV anyday) but by way of thanks I was fully paid for training and not persued for the training fee in the end
there were other factors similar to yours at the time - I was honest with the Jobcentre about what had happened and it has been ok, in fact the Jobcentre said why didn't you come here sooner, and I'm determined never to be so, so desperate I'll end up back in the same situation hard way but I finally learn my own self value

Your to long at work to be miserable and uncomfortable - and by coming out whether you stay or go you can potencially save someone else the misery, the bosses might not know what is going on if you get me

Good wishes : )
