Depending on your Tax Return --earned under 10k and over 10k per their last years return--so the Minister said on Newstalk earlier !

Gross or Net?.....asking for a friend!!

There you go Rodent roughly what I was saying to you yeaterday ...The pandemic unemployment payment (PUP) for part-time workers will be slashed as part of the Government's plan to reduce the massive welfare bill caused by the coronavirus.

The €350-per-week payment will be cut to €203 in line with the jobseeker's allowance paid to the unemployed.


How will they determine whether self-employed men are part-time or full-time... by reference to latest filed profit/loss or what?

As declaired  Ocupation Taxi Driver .If you then take up casual work that might be a problem for double jobbers or RTW recipients

From the wage subsidy scheme:

The subsidy scheme currently refunds employers up to a maximum of €410 for each qualifying employee. From 4 May it will change to a system based on the previous average take home pay of employees. See below for details.

The subsidy is based on an employee's pay after tax, USC and PRSI, not their gross pay.


Net pay would make more sense ....... bit of a pisser if you bought a new car for that Tax year to reduce Tax liabilities

Pensioners will be perceived to be part-timers, but who in effect work more than your average full-time Ermy.

If you were listening to Leo yesterday when asked about the pension age--he said there would be only a transition payment for Pensioners still working while in receipt of an occupational pension --ie nobody can have full payment of Welfare entitlements if still earning --so tough shit if you have worked/earned your pension and you get another job --you will be means tested--
Wonder does that apply to Public Servants who can jump after 30 years service and take a nice job in Private Sector--
Why o Why didnt I listen to my parents in early 70s and take a job in Public Service--another Bloomer !

I think what he meant is if say your contract of employment ends at 66 and you have to wait till 67 to get your state pension then you can claim dole but that dole will be means tested just in case you got a huge private pension at 66 but if you dont have a private pension or savings you will get dole for the waiting year .Watch whats coming .EQUALITY women will now not get the pension at a younger age than men .

It seems things are being fast tracked and we will be back to the new normal July 1st, hopefully we will be able to return to our businesses at that time and assess the long term damage and it's viability to survive into the future.

Yes whenever possible, at other times use sanitisers and caution, Sanitisers, screens, face masks and keeping your back to people should more than make up for the .5m
