***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.0 -

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 scienceBlackpool_Saver is female, and does not live in Blackpool0 -

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.0 -
***Dogger69*** Honestly and truthfully I have not been late signing on before-Yes I am 'one of the 25', but not for shoddy time keeping0
