Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) – overview for contractors
All joking aside, if my current client told me they were shutting down because of the virus, and my income would be zero. Why wouldn't that money be to help people in that situation?Last edited by escapeUK; 20 March 2020, 20:52.Comment

They've not reached the stage of paying folks salaries from the magic money tree. However, loans are available from what I understand here in the state of Bavaria, don't know about the other states.
Ohh and the shelves haven't been raided...
Despite coronavirus hamster shopping, shelves will keep on being filled
There was an interesting graphic doing the rounds the other night on which EU countries are clearing out the local supermarket shelves. The were also the same countries where Murdoch dominates the media."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I had a brief look and there are not many offers going on at the moment, understandably, and this is not a normal situation where one cannot find a project for a few months. Companies might have problems hiring people for much longer than in normal circumstances...Comment

Originally posted by mickael28 View PostOur client told us today as well that they're stopping the project and all contractors/3rd parties are out at the end of the month, so even if it's the minimum of 80% of a small salary, it just seems fair that if other workers can apply we should be able to apply as well.
Always the same with cretins. They want everything that comes with being a small business but when it suits them they want everything that comes with employees as well. No wonder the general public has little sympathy for us.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
