what is the best day of the week to go back working? Friday?

In which context? For earnings or for coming off pup to ensure you qualify for a final payment?

Payments are from Wed to Thur, if you work one day, your paid for the week so start Monday, then you will be paid on the following two Tuesdays

Cheers.

Just to complicate things, I asked a similar question at the start of July and RC replied (with a link  )

https://www.gov.ie/en/service/a5aed9-how-to-close-a-covid-19-pandemic-unemployment-payment/

The payment period of COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment is Friday to Thursday. If you close your claim to return to work and have at least one qualifying day in that period you will receive full payment for that week.

Why don't they do it Mon-Fri/Sun?

That was then... the bean counters seem to gaining more control as the thing progresses. There was a man on the wireless yesterday who was cut off for going on holiday. Even with the job seeking clause now (apparently?) enshrined in law what's to stop a man saying he's going to Benidorm to look for a job 'cos the bar trade is fucked here?

I imagine the Taxi trade would do very well to get to Christmas as the thread title suggests, given the new agenda to get claimants back to work

[Rat Catcher]

I read somewhere that 7 or 8 of the drivers unions met a Dail Committee and said - not a word of a lie, this is 110% true - there's no work so they want subsidies to help drivers return to [no] work. You couldn't make it up!

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

even better.
the wording of whether you could claim and do a birra work was nicely ambiguous.
but a driver on here is damning some politician to clarify the situation once and for all.

[Rat Catcher]

It'd be funny if it wasn't true... I'm guessing that's the erm?

Sure you knew the answer you told us all we were not allowed you even posted about drivers in Finglas being stopped .Were you lieing just to keep us off the road .

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

I never said we were'nt allowed.
I'm referencing a bogey post that referenced some sorta bogey taxi rep who reported that 54 Finglas taxi drivers had been intercepted driving and claiming or something.
it appeared not too long after your post about how a driver you knew had shown you a bogey letter from the welfare cutting him off.

[Rat Catcher]

I know a couple of drivers who said they got those letters, both said they got their puppy dole back on foot of a phone call to Welfare although (the last I heard) one lost two weeks missed payments that were supposed to be paid.
