Acording the law, working with wulnerable residents we are not allowed to come to work if we have any symptoms of infecion (iinfectious disease prevention policy), also, we are entitled to 7 days off without proof of sickness from the doctor (self-cetification). None of those rules apply to my workplace. If we call sick and don't turn-up to work my managers threten us with disciplinary procedures. They could employ more staff or use agency workers to cover the absence, but instead they force us to come and assist our residents while sick, caughing , sneezing, having fever, etc... They ignore the law, our workers rights, our health and welbing and - the most important - our resident's safety. Tories don't care about peole. it is all about money.

I'm just pointing out the difference in income between UC and a 40 hour week at minimum wage ... because some people don't seem to know what that difference is. Also councils have limits on what they will pay people for their rent so not all of their rent is paid in many cases so the rest of the rent has to be paid out of the basic UC which is for living expenses. Reduced council tax also has to be paid out of that basic UC although i assume that is accounted for. In my case i own the lease on my little bedsit and get no help towards housing (service/maintainance charges) so that has to be paid from UC also. If someone is permanently long term sick they can get some help with service charges but if you're in and out of work due to ill health like me, working just one day in a nine month period will void any entitlement to that help.

I’m currently unemployed as my company (an established financial services company) couldn’t afford the funds to invest in more projects than they’d have liked. Just got my P60. Last year I paid over £40k in income tax and National Insurance. But according to JHB I’m a scrounger. Unemployment happens, thankfully for most of us it’s temporary. She’s on a different planet.

@benjaminsmith6806

Ай бұрын

Just to clarify, if your are sinlge without dependants you receive just under £400 for JSA, if you are working full time in a minimum wage job after tax it's about £1200 take home. Your first child nets you £100 a month and £85 for every one after that and then you have other benefits you can such as housing and heating allowances. This is where the issue arises, if you are for example 21 and living at home with mum and dad then doing that minimum wage and paying a little rent to mum and dad is worthwhile. If you're a couple with three kids where having a job will either reduce or lose you benefits which either equal or exceed the minimum wage then there is often little incentive for one of the two adults to work. Ultimatly it depends on circumstances.

@dertery8724

Ай бұрын

I absolutely agree with you but remember benefits aren’t immediately withdrawn the second you enter work. Let’s say you are the sole worker in a household with dependent children and your entitlement to universal credit (including the element of housing support) would be £15,000 a year if you had no other income. As you have dependent children and receive support with housing costs, you have a ‘work allowance’ of £404 a month. Income within the work allowance doesn’t affect your benefits at all so if you earned £5000 a year from working part-time, you would still receive the £15,000 in benefits or £20,000 in total. When your income exceeds the work allowance, your entitlement to universal credit decreases by 55p for every pound of income you earn after tax. So if your income was £6000, as this is under the tax threshold £550 would be taken off your universal credit. A full time worker on the minimum wage will earn roughly £22,500 a year which is roughly £19,700 after tax (allowing for the NI cuts). £19,700 exceeds the work allowance by approximately £14,700 so will reduce your universal credit by £8085 (55% of your net income above the work allowance). This would leave you with universal credit of £6915 in universal credit which, with after tax pay of roughly £19700, leaves you with a total income of £26615. In other words, working full time (37.5 hours a week) on the minimum wage would leave a person with dependent children £11,615 better off than if they didn’t work. This isn’t very much recompense for working full time I admit, but that is the consequence of means testing: high marginal deduction rates. Problems arise at the point where you lose free school meals (an income of £7400) which can cost over £1000 for parents with two children; and at the point where universal credit reaches zero at which point you lose free prescriptions, eye and dental checks, cost of living payments, etc - costing easily over £1000 per year. In the case of our parent who had a universal credit entitlement of £15,000, their benefit would reach zero once they had a net income about £27,250 above the work allowance or £32,250 in total: a gross income of roughly £40,000. So ignoring the impact of council tax relief, but accounting for the loss of universal credit, free school meals, free prescriptions, tax, etc, a household with one parent earning £40,000 gross is likely only about £15,000 better off than a household where nobody works. This is a big disincentive I’m sure, and I would like to scrap these cliff edges. Nevertheless, in no circumstance are people worse off in work than they would be not working at all.

Hmm. I'd argue that appropriate work is a necessity for those with genuine mental health issues, as just forcing someone with schizophrenia, depression or PTSD into any old role could cause more issues than you're solving. Unfortunately some of those currently viewed as unfit for work will not cope with many of the jobs available in the UK, not out of laziness but because there isn't the adequate support available to get them back into work. Without that it falls apart, they need more than a work coach telling them to accept any job they need good combined support from employer and medical professionals to get them safely working. It all feels like fancy words that appeal to those who don't actually understand the issues being faced by the majority of people and think it's as easy as clicking your fingers and finding these individuals a job that isn't going to make their situation worse. Research consistently shows that it is suitable/appropriate work with the personalised support to keep an individual in work that is good for them, not just expecting them to take any job going. Everyone seems to ignore that though as it requires more work than just shoving them into inappropriate sectors and letting employers/employees deal with the fallout.
