Like I said that may be the case at your jcp but not mine. unfortunately not all jcp's work the same way0 -

Of course I am, which is why I deliver group sessions which I wrote, at my office advising customer how now to get trapped with a sanction.
I may be a linked advisor but I will not refer to a DM unless in my opinion it is reasonable to do so.0 -

but the number of people scamming the system because they thought it was an easy ride does. It's surprising how many people suddenly find a job when sanctioned0 -

We do at mine, they are issued with 4 logs each with the week the log is relevant for at the top. Then on the signing coupon it will be the date last signed to the date of signing.0 -
