The challenge of the job seeker
A job seeker signing on with their job centre is encouraged to register with agencies.
When an agency text them at a weekend with a days work there is a challenge?
When you agree to take the day's work you are duty bound to notify the Jobcentre. There is a concern that if you notify the job centre you will lose all your benefits or they will be stopped.
O.K when the agency system started up the DWP had its current system.
Today companies often seek staff for a day. In the application form the National Insurance number is requested. DWP also use this same number. If payment is going through on this number there is an automatic match.
Thus the Government has the power to identify the modern economy. Indeed the DWP requires I.D to produce a new NI number.
So now you have the I.D checker
Many dread the 1 day of work, because you feel used. Not part of the business. Yet, turning down work is a breach of the Job seeker agreement.
 The Job seeker agreement was based on the start of a job. Full time Job in it's traditional sence.Yet today's economy is different. It fails to take account of today's work environment and economy. The world of net business and p/t work or 1 or two days work in a week
