Hi all,I'm hoping someone can help me,I am due to "sign on" on Monday (21st) but am wondering what period that covers?,does it include the 21st or is it 7th-20th?

Thanks in advance.

Usually the previous 2 weeks as it's paid in arrears, but if a 1st sign may be more or less.

Yes it includes the 21st. Usually it is the previous 2 weeks, but as above .... and you might be on weekly signing then it would be the previous 1 week.

Thanks for the replies,I know it's two weeks in arrears but wanted to know which 14 days,I may have a job Monday but won't know until after signing on,would I sign off as of Tuesday or Monday ?

If you are working Monday and unable to get to jobcentre to sign off, then sign off by phone 0845 6043719 (I think that's right) and also as a precaution complete inside your ES40, and post it through the jobcentre letterbox on Monday night.

If you are not working then sign on as normal.
