[As we move out of the pandemic,
with restrictions lifted and life returning to normal, the ‘Way to Work’ campaign will focus on getting job-ready people off Universal Credit and into work, rapidly filling vacancies which are at a record high.] Official Gov. Statement https://www.gov.uk/government/news/n...-000-into-work https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60149016 From Thursday, people will have to look outside their sectors after just four weeks, rather than three months. If they fail to make "reasonable efforts" to get a job, or turn down employment, they could see their benefit payment reduced. I am sorry if this sounds tough But us working tax payers demand this.

Four weeks is enough , people shouldn’t just ‘stick to their sector’, as we have seen there are shortages everywhere.
And even if you do get a job in a sector you don’t like, you can always look for another one whilst you’re making more money in that job than you would get on reduced benefit payments. |

Problem is a job that a 20 year old living at home with no one but themselves to think about may not be suitable to a 35 year old with kids and a mortgage?

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

If only the bosses at these work places hired the people that were best for the job and not their mates then this would be a good idea.
Plus making more jobs wouldn't be too bad either.

The jobs are not there and are going to become even less as places that took on for covid cover, will now be laying off those they took on, with isolation times going steadily down and stuff. This will be a lot of people. I know so many on temp contracts for this very reason. Ontop of this, the xmas surge is only just over, so many places will have a surplus, if anything rather than need staff.

I'm thinking about going on this Universal credit, if they allow me to. How do I go about it? Do I do it online?
Last time I was on the dole it was jobseekers allowance and you had to go into the job centre to claim it. |

Even if you are in work Alf depending on what you earn you could be entitled to UC
This is a handy site to check entitlement https://www.turn2us.org.uk/

If that is the case then the Money can still be paid. However, if there is job and the person is refusing the work then they can, insist that person takes it. |

There is a huge candidate shortage at the moment. This is the first January ever in 23 years in recruitment where we have had more jobs than candidates available. I speak with recruiters in various sectors every day and they are all saying the same thing. Its a very candidate driven market at the moment but that bubble will pop eventually.
I don't like the sound of forcing people to apply for any job outside your skills set, it will lead to people in jobs they hate....which in turn drives down productivity for the employer and after the last 2 years could have a massive toll on mental health. The Gov are desperately trying to recoup cash and cook the unemployment figures.

i think it comes from the government thinking everyone is a middle manager where moving sectors is fine. Anyone with specialised skills would be mad to move into something else after 4 weeks
