Ah well, sometimes the notice is better than the money, he can look while he is still earning

[Vamps]

So nine hundred pounds on the government scheme (if hes earning more then 450 a week)

I don't think he earns much more that the minimum wage, regardless of how much overtime he worked, that said he is tight and has good bank balance for a young lad......

Daddy's boy.

No chance with my daughter!!!!...............

Always easier to find work when you are in it.........

If stuck I can point him to some work but would be on Zero Hours and minimum wage.......... Early day's yet, just need to put the feelers out......

How could you point your own son towards a zero hours contract

It's better than nothing surely?   

[tigers_gonads]

He's young so hopefully he will spring in to another job, tell him if he thinks it is hard wait until he gets proper old and it's flippin' murder

Tell me about it bud 
Even better when you tell the potential employer that you have been your own boss for over 20 years and have no references 
Normal reply is a smug grin across the desk and a polite "shut the door on the way out" answer.
That's if you manage to get through the door that is 

All the best to your lad Vamps
Hope he is one of the lucky ones

Because its better then a kick in the slats while he looks for something else

You get good and bad zero hour contracts, like all jobs, it depends how good the agency or employer is.

Better than nothing.......... The right kind of young lad his age, into sports and young peoples things, Male, I can find work for, sadly all Zero Hours but in reality good few hours, potential for 60 or 70 or more hours during school holidays; self employed or via an agency, your choice, anyone interested?...............

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, more suited for a student, but we, as a family have a 'do whatever is necessary culture' as in our experience it is much easier finding a Job when you are doing something, shows the work ethic...........
