Re: Sainsbury's pull out of 'Work for your benefits scheme'
I read it on the BBC website
Quote:

Of the 34,200 people who took part in the scheme between its launch in January 2011 and November that year - the government says 200 had their benefits docked.

And this was on the Guardian website
Quote:

Two weeks' JSA can be docked if someone leaves a work experience placement after more than a week

It would appear the sanction is the same as if they didn't turn up to sign on.
Just linked through your link, Gary, and the first documents (the version 1) states in the guidance (in the Work Experience Documents zip file, Work Experience Guidance for Advisors document)
Quote:
4.The decision for a claimant to participate in Work Experience is voluntary (Jobseeker’s Directions should not be used). However, except for 16/17 year olds, participation is mandatory once the claimant has made a decision to participate (apart from the probationary week).
12. This means that as long as the participant turns up on the first day and is not dismissed for misconduct, then the employer/participant can agree that the placement is not working out and terminate it within the first week without any sanction activity
