And you get other days off instead - or are your employer breaking the law in not allowing you any days' holiday during the year?

As the only businesses listing 'new' jobs on UJM over Christmas eve - Boxing day tend to be on-line sites using scripts to auto-list the same jobs every day regardless of whether or not they are still available, I won't be looking myself.

My advisor suggested that if the number of jobsearch actions was at least the required number they'd be unlikely to check individual days.

If you job search on a bank holiday will they pay you double-time in your benefits,

It's a Public Holiday which trumps a Bank Holiday.

Anyway JC would never expect people to job search on Xmas day, just like they never expected job search 7 days a week, whatever some have assumed or been told by others.

We don't all get double time for all bank holidays either. I know I only get it for Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Get no extra for any of the other bank holidays. Yes I did take it off earlier in the year.

I'd have thought it would be a normal day for searching for jobs though, but as long as you meet the required amount I'm sure there ok about it.

But I will say the amount of moaning people do about job searching requirements surprises me sometimes.

How can it be a normal day ?

Do you moan about things yourself ?
