cant work for for 9-12 weeks so i need to sign on and i could do with a bit of info,
i phoned the 0800 number for www.direct/gov.co.uk and got chatting to a lass and it basically boils down to who is going to pay my statutory sick pay, either the employer who i verbally left last thursday or the dhss. i may be able to get it topped up a bit but im not holding my breath as her indoors works full time.
anyone got any advice they would care to share please as this is a new situation for me and while i dont distrust the people on the end of the phonelines im sure i willed be signed up to the latest scheme or box that suits them.
