12 hour contract

simon1creed

My contract is for 12 hours but I work over 35 hours every week. Due to the situation I am only working my contract hours on minimum wage which does not cover my bills (rent phone bills) not including food which are a minimum of £800 per month. Is there any support available for me.

thanks

Try the Debt Free Wannabe board.

Despite the name, there are clearly lots of nice people there able to offer really good advice on how to live within your means

Talk to your landlord about your rent. In these circumstances they may be able to offer you a rent holiday, and a suitable repayment plan to pay that back once you are back to normal. Even if they don't allow a rent holiday, they can't even start eviction for 3 months under the latest emergency laws passed.

With fewer than 16 hours per week working and having worked longer and therefore paid NI contributions, you should find you are eligible for "New Style" Jobseekers Allowance (NS JSA).
