Can hubby leave trail job and still get jsa?

spartacusthe1st

He took a job on a 3 month trial, really close to where we live so ideal....except when he was shown around it wasn't clear what his job role would include.
Which is sewing,using sewing machines, very fine intricate work etc.
His "trainer" is horrible he barks orders at him and doesn't help hubby, doesn't speak a word to him all day unless to shout orders at him.

Hubby is very uncomfortable and wants to leave.

Would he get jsa?

Thanks

Tell your hubby to grow a pair and get on with his job, he can always look for another job while he's there.

Thanks, he has been looking but there's not much about in our area.
He spoke to the boss but he basically just said that the trainer guy has always been like that.
I think it's really affecting my hubby, he's getting depressed, moody and every day I get at least 5/6 texts saying how awful it is there.

You picked a real diamond there.....

your husband sounds lazy, he's trying to manipulate you into saying 'it's ok, just quit...'

I don't even think there is a 'trainer'

I have a friend who is always sending those kind of messages, I've literally just received one. I simply reply reminding him it won't feel so bad when he gets his wages. I would never suggest he quits, nothing more unattractive than a defeated man

Unless there is more to this, then he would probably be sanctioned (assuming he was entitled to claim JSA in the first place) and rightly so IMHO.


I have to agree with other posters. It sounds as if he doesn't want that job and is looking for excuses to quit. If you are willing to support him financially, then I guess you could support his decision to leave, but if what you have described above is all that it takes for him to leave a job, you might well find you are supporting him financially for many years to come.


Perhaps he senses that you are wavering, hence the barrage of texts. Personally, I would tell him to put his phone down, get on with the job while looking for something else.

Thanks guys, half of me wants to say man up just get on with it you have a family to support.
And the other half of me feels bad for him, I know what it's like to be in a job you hate....
Will encourage him to stay, he just needs to get bis head down and get on with it

Employment on trial may apply.

If it's only for three months it's not going to kill him...might lead to something better.

It can be very hard in a job you don't enjoy especially when it's low paid and you've been used to higher wages or a job you enjoyed more. I see where he's coming from, but, long term it's got to be worth sticking at it.

What if they need a reference from last employer?

If he really can't stick it, you can apply for JSA and add him if you aren't working.

Thanks bloolagoon.
I work 2 days a week as my youngest has just started school.
The wages are rubbish 42 hours a week for a grand take home a month after tax and ni.
Sammyjammy- the trial wasn't agreed with the job center before hand- as far as they are concerned he's just gone straight into full time perm.
So not sure if it will apply?

Thanks guys
