Suspended/Locked out workers

Clients who are suspended or locked out from their jobs without pay are not entitled to Jobseeker Support. For benefit purposes they are still employed if their employment contract provides that they would ordinarily work an average of 30 hours or more per week, if they were not suspended or locked out.

You can look at an Emergency Benefit in cases of hardship.

If the client has been suspended because they were or have been on strike see:
