poxon 5,555 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Think that’s right 16hrs or less won’t effect benefits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grompz 703 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 getting out and meeting folk ,topping up the pension would be good for you mate, only thing i can tell you is you will probably be hammered by taxman on earnings, i finished work last year, got offered 8wks temporary work with my old company. made good money on the 7day week, got taxed 20%,had to pay more tax on my small monthly pension, and when i got my final lump sum payment, paid another wedge on that, hoping to get a decent rebate this year, alright if you can get cash in hand, but had to go on the books, already asked me about doing a bit this summer, dont know will it be worth it or not, did enjoy working with the lads again and having a laugh, a good bunch to work with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and the barstools ask about every penny of your pensions they tax you as you earn it and tax your pension too , The minute you earn over 12.5K its taxed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,796 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Do it! Even if it affects benifits. If you can afford to do it then do it. You will gain so much from the whole thing. And if you manage to brighten up one person's day it will be worth it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
