After 6 months on Jobseekers Allowance I have finally found a lovely job starting early March subject to references. So i've been claiming JSA. I have one last sign in on the 27th Feb and will get paid 3 working days later. My question is do I still go to sign then? Do the Jobcentre pay a fortnight in hand?
Also when is the best time to tell my advisor I have a job? Now or should I wait til my references are cleared and I get the confirmation letter from my new job? I'm hoping my references will be ok...one is my last job who I had a lot of time off with through bereavement...given HR as a contact so it will probably be very brief. Other I don't stay in contact with much anymore but she promised she would always write me a reference as I was her star worker so i'm hoping she still works at the same company. I'm so pleased to be back in the land of the working woman
