With a large-scale UBI in practice, you'd also have the effect of higher taxes that would claw back the UBI from those who have jobs, as well as an additional amount to cover the UBI for those who don't work.
I still prefer a job guarantee scheme for dealing with under-employment. This gives anyone who is willing and capable of working the chance to earn the minimum wage, and hopefully gets some productive benefit in return.
