DAILY SIGNING ON

Some people are now asked to sign on daily and in some cases they miss out attending places that, unlike JCP (Job Centre Plus) actually has the means of allowing people to look for work.
These drop in centres, as they are known, have computers so people can browse agency sites where many jobs are advertised but don't get put in the universal jobs match site because they only offer a week here or there, sometimes only a days work.

You are paid by the agency at the end of each week/month, just a weeks work every other week can mean you get more then signing on many people do this rather than sign on there are times when you go weeks without any work, but there are times you are never out of work going from one temp job to another.

I knew someone who did this work but they used to tell the firm they were working for to call them direct if they wanted someone for a day or week, they now work full time for one of the employers but they still get calls to go in and work for other employers. This person cut out the agency by getting a day/weeks work at a place and giving them their mobile number, all employers took the number as they could get someone to do the job and cut the agency out of the picture.
