JSA & Part time work

Hello - I am receiving JSA but have now got a temp part time role - 14 hours per week.
Do I need to inform the DWP of this or no need because you are allowed to work up to 16 hours per week whilst claiming JSA?

whilst you are able to work less than 16 hours and claim JSA, the amount you received will be reduced based on your earnings and circumstances
If a single person you have a £5 allowance and anything over the £5 earned will be deducted £ for £ from the JSA so depending on your income there may be no payment.
