His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain... -
Originally posted by Daley View PostHi All,
My last contract finished at the end of Feb so I am looking around for my next opportunity. I used a Ltd Co and have enough money in the business account to pay me for another month but then I'm skint. Due to the impending closure of the whole country due to Corona, I'm guessing that nobody will be in offices to do interviews or be keen for new people to start so I'm not sure how long I will be out of work!
Are there any benefits that can be claimed or is there anything that can be done? Apart from signing on to the dole of course. If the Job Centres are open. Any help appreciated!
Thank you.
Failing that, no. You're not in a permie job, your a company director working contracts that come and go. C.A.B. may be able to help.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
