and here we have another issue. The red tape. When someone gets a job that is temporary it should be a much simpler process to get back onto JSA once the job is over. The red tape is ridicules and it does put people off taking temp jobs
And they should have made a simple way of letting they get paid and go back onto benefits after without hassle
They will be entitled to back pay yes but what if there is found to be a civil case to answer. The courts have just found that what the government done was illegal so the very policy by definition is a criminal offence victims of said offences may well have a civil compensation claim.
