JSA and vol reduction in hours
Tue 05-Jan-10 03:27 PM

Client considering voluntary reduction in hours (but staying in same job and with same employer) and claiming JSA top up, with H costs after 13 weeks (new rules). Knows re signing and meeting jobseeking requirements etc. Her question is whether sanction can apply to JSA. JSAct s19(6) not clear. Can "such employment" in (b) refer to the hours of employment she is intending to give up? Or could (d) apply, neglecting to avail herself of a reasonable opportunty fo employment wih "emplyment" meaning the abandoned hours. Any thoughts?
