Renewed guide to volunteering and benefits published
Answered 14 Oct 2008 by p.shoreFollowing a government commitment in response to the Commission on the Future of Volunteering’s report ‘Manifesto for Change’ earlier this year, Jobcentre Plus, part of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), has published its renewed guidance on volunteering whilst on benefits.
Can you answer these questions on hours, benefits, and paid leave?
Answered 5 Mar 2008 by d.headSeveral employment questions:
1. What is the normal / legal contractual employment hours per week. Is it 35, 37.5, or ...?
2. Is there a standard / legal minimum number of annual leave days per year?
3. I would like to employ an unemployed volunteer part-time without affecting the persons unemployment & housing benefits. Please confirm the maximum number of hours a person can work and maximum earnings to ensure no benefits are lost.
