Signing on today

[MrMister]

If I'm signing on today, will I get my JSA next tue due to the bank holiday mon ?

[factor-fiction]

If Tuesday is your normal payment day then I'm sure you will still get it then.

[Buenchico]

. . . but if you normally get your money on Mondays it should be in your account by this Friday at the latest.

[MrMister]

Yeh thanks all. Just found out that I will be getting it on this Fri.

[MrMister]

How much would a 3 day worth of JSA be ?

[sandyRoe]

about thirty quid ?

[MrMister]

would that include a bank holiday pay?

[sandyRoe]

The basic JSA is about 64 quid a week. I don't think they give any extra for bank holidays.

[MrMister]

I mean the £30 would include the Bank holiday ?

[sandyRoe]

TYhe money you get will include all days until you next sigh on.

[Frank97]

If you sign on today and normally get your money on monday you will get it tomorrow. The bank holiday doesn't effect anything apart from you getting paid earlier.

[MrMister]

ok thanks. Cos actually I have signed off as I will be working from 1 Sep onwards. so was just calculating how much I would be getting from now till 31 Aug.

My only dilemma is that I will not be getting money until end of sep when i get my first pay. I am trying to look into this.

I'd e interested to know whether you can claim anything for the first month of work on the basis that you won't be paid for a month. I can see a case for a loan but I can't see any case forgetting an extra month's JSA, but let us know how you get on

[MrMister]

Well no I can't claim further as my JSA closes on 31 aug. So I am only left with the loan option despite the job centre advisor being negative about the idea.
