not really ,because if they turn up on time and do the work they get paid ,if they don't turn up they will not get paid ,simple realy ,all they have to do is get out of bed at the required time and go outside ,a strange concept to some but doable and if the same people still refuse to look for work then they will have to do it again ,and hopefully after going through this cycle the message will sink in that they will have to work so why not get training to do a job where they won't get paid a pittance ,plus getting back into the work habit counts for a lot
