Good morning, I am currently employed on a 3 month fixed term contract with a public sector organisation. This is coming to an end and may be extended but I no longer wish to continue. I have been looking for further work throughout the whole contract as it was made clear at interview that extension may not be on the cards but have found nothing. Will I be able to claim JSA or will I have made myself voluntarily unemployed if they contract is extended and I decline to take them up?

Re: Fixed term contract renewal
Why would you wish to not continue, when you know you have no other job to go to?
Your best course of action, unless your having issues at work (in which case tell us as we can probably help resolve them), would be to accept the extension and continue to seek alternative employment. You may still resign once you find alternative employment. You will also have the benefit of being on a wage rather than on benefits where your not forced to receive any JSA as a result of refusing an offer of employment (i.e. contract extension)Please note that this advice is given informally, without liability and without prejudice.

Re: Fixed term contract renewal
I don't wish to work there any longer as I get the shifts nobody else will do and the jobs that nobody else wants to do. Instead of these being shared out between everyone they have been given to me. Some of the shift patterns do not comply with good practice or employment law. I have complained and got nowhere. I have now signed on with an agency and should be starting work next week in any case.Originally posted by teaboy2 View PostComment

I don't wish to elaborate. I don't work there any more and will not work in that organisation again.Originally posted by teaboy2 View PostComment

Quite properly then you will not get any helpful advice.Comment

Re: Fixed term contract renewal
Advice is no longer required as I have removed myself from the organisation and secured work elsewhere so my question no longer requires an answer.Comment

Re: Fixed term contract renewal
OK ... in all fairness, the Beagles who had answered on this thread were asking you to expand on your first post in order to offer you the best advice they could on your circumstances. As you have made it quite clear that you no longer need advice on this matter I am closing the thread.Originally posted by topbird136 View Post
