You must submit employment status forms if you are receiving transitional benefit for single parents, and you meet the duty to be in work-related activity by being a job seeker.
When you fill in the employment status form, you must answer 5 questions about your activities in the past 14 days.
On the form you must list
- all hours you worked
- days you participated in employment schemes, training or education
- days you were sick and therefore unable to work or participate in employment schemes
- days you were absent for other reasons, e.g. holiday
You must also state whether you want to continue to be registered as a job seeker in the next 14 days.
The information you provide through the employment status form will not affect the amount you get paid in transitional benefit.
To avoid payments that are too high or too low, it is important that you notify us of changes in your situation or income. It is not enough to report this on your employment status form.
