    ***Blackpool_Saver** 30 min to me, thow others may disagree is trivial.
    I've been an hour late for a paid job before, like others. All I did was work through my 1 hour lunch break, no going near the Gaffer's office. Debt then repaid.

    The expectation is you treat the job centre as if it is your job. They seem to have failed to communicate this to you which is unfortunate, however you will not find any leniency on this issue and complaining is a waste of your own time and the job centres.

    Accept the sanction and learn from it.


    Adults should not need to be told this it's so fundamental, and if for some very serious reason you are going to be late then you phone up and explain why. It's not rocket science

    Utterly unacceptable, I think you are making all this up, surely you can't be this ignorant. You are an adult for goodness sake

    Hi All,
    As per the title I was slightly late for my signing on today. I was told that it was a serious problem-If it is important to any one here, I simply misread the apointment sheet. It is a first offence.
    Saying sorry and explaining my self was fewtile.

    What is the experience of others here?
    Thankfully it is not a time when snow is a likely

    Are you sure it is a first offence? In this post (a week ago) you refer to being 'one of the 25', referring to the alleged target number of sanctions for each JCP.

    sorry but you deserve what you get if that's all you keep saying!

    'I simply misread the appointment '

    What you thought 2pm was 2.30pm?

    So you looked at the time once?
