In the UK payments are often made monthly. This is bad enough if you are short of cash but factor in a lot of jobs are now bogus self-employed gigs or agency work where you can also find yourself extending credit to a business that has less cash than you do. Resulting in underpayment or , sometimes, no payment at all.
A lot of folks in the UK have a view that if they lost their job they can just do 'any-job' until they find something else.
These 'any-jobs' either are not available in the way people think they are or they fall into the category outlined above.
- Ntrails 9y agoAs someone who worked in Kitchens/Hotels/Restaurants from about the age of 14 to my mid 20s - I have never not been able to find people hiring KPs etc in an area. Low skill low paid work always seemed to be available. Note, I was usually in _relatively_ affluent parts (the south) of the country. However after that I've always felt that should things go tits up I could always go back to 50+ hours a week on min wage... Worth noting, even if I could do that I sure as hell wouldn't have the motivation to job hunt in my downtime.
