According to Citizens Advice (linky),
For JSA a claimant must not be in 'remunerative work' meaning at least 16 hrs per week

What if your employer (you) employs you on a zero-hours contract? Then you can remain on JSA and they only pay you the weeks you don't earn enough - or at least I think it used to work that way?

Unless you are looking for someone to take you on as an employee, or inside IR35.

Just another thought...
If you are a Company Director and claiming JSA having laid yourself off (as an employee), when looking for contract work (rather than a job), does that count as working while claiming JSA, and therefore benefit fraud?

Intuitively though, ignoring the legality of it all, it strikes me as a very 'disguised employee' kind of thing to do.
I wouldn't try to map it to IR35 criteria though - it's (deliberately?) bonkers at it's simplest.

Originally posted by SpontaneousOrder View PostAlthough, that logic works both ways. It would be entirely consistent to moan about being taxed and then to reclaim what was taken from you via whatever means, including JSA.
I'm all for bankrupting the state, but in this instance I struggle to sympathise because i've too much self-pride in what I'm trying to achieve as a business.
Needs refocusing on tiding people without savings over who are between jobs and helping those who genuinely can't work for medical reasons.
