I have done this in the past but have not done it for a while

I think that they sent me a cheque but I did have to wait a while for it

Good luck hope it works out

hi, i've done something similar and got paid from the job centre but in arrears, i would check with whoever contacted you regarding payment and get it all clarified, they should have explained this whilst offering you the placement, check hours required and how much they will pay you etc and how! just to add when i did this i ended up with the lo for five years after the parent got a job :laughing:

You will get paid... eventually!

Just don't expect the money on time or have it earmarked for something special.

Make sure you do the normal settling in and charge for that too.

Good luck! :D

Can I just ask did you ladies put your details down the job centre or did they find you from local families information service? X
