<h1></h1><h2>Self-employed people will now be able to access social welfare payments such as jobseekers allowance as long as they contribute enough PRSI payments under the Jobseekers Bill that passed through the houses of the Oireachtas yesterday.</h2><h1></h1><h2>The Bill will now go before President Michael D Higgins where it will be officially signed into law and is expected to come into force fully in November.</h2>Social Protection Minister Regina Doherty said in a statement: “When the economy crashed in 2008, many suffered. Self-employed traders such as plumbers, electricians and painters all around the country suddenly found themselves with no work and with very little support from the State.“This new scheme will rectify that situation and create more fairness in our system of supports for those who create jobs for themselves and others.”&lt;ad&gt;Details of the Bill were announced back in April as follows; The Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Regina Doherty T.D. announced the introduction of a new social insurance benefit scheme for the self-employed from this November. The new scheme of Jobseekers Benefit (Self-Employed) will support those who lose their self-employment and are covered by social insurance. This new initiative will provide assurance to people setting up or running their own business that the State is there to support them if their efforts to create employment and an income for their families and employees suffer as a consequence of their business ceasing. Arrangements are currently underway in the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection to ensure the necessary legislation is in place for the new scheme and that the administrative and technical solutions are in place in advance of November for the operation of this scheme.&lt;ad&gt;Speaking on the importance of the scheme, Minister Doherty said:“This new benefit supports the Government’s aim of creating a supportive environment for entrepreneurship, including providing an income safety net to employees and self-employed alike. This Government has sought to encourage enterprise and, particularly, has sought to introduce a new deal for the self-employed when it comes to their access to benefits. “We have already extended Treatment Benefits and Invalidity Pension to the self-employed in recent years to ensure that they reach some parity with employees in the benefits they can access from the social insurance system. The introduction of a new Jobseeker’s Benefit scheme for the self-employed represents the next step in the Government’s work to extend PRSI benefits and will provide an income safety net to thousands of small and medium businesses throughout the country.” It is estimated that up to 6,500 individuals could benefit from this support at any point in time in a full year. &lt;ad&gt;Under the scheme applicants will have access to the full range of employment supports available to other jobseekers such as referral to group information sessions, one to one interviews and subsequent caseworker support.<ul><li>This is a new statutory social insurance benefit scheme for the self-employed</li><li>The key objective of the new Jobseeker’s Benefit scheme for the Self Employed is to provide a social insurance support to self-employed contributors whose business has ceased</li><li>Applicants will have to satisfy a PRSI contribution condition</li><li>Self-employed persons who do not have sufficient PRSI contributions will continue to be able to apply for jobseekers allowance which is a social assistance means tested scheme</li><li>Drafting of the necessary legislation has commenced for the new scheme to be available from November 2019</li><li>The payment rates for this scheme are the same as the Jobseeker’s Benefit scheme, as follows:</li></ul>&lt;ad&gt;Maximum Personal Rate €203.00Maximum Increase for a Qualified Adult €134.70Maximum Increase for a Qualified Child (Under 12) €34.00Maximum Increase for a Qualified Child (12 and Over) €37.00The new benefit will be paid for 9 months for people with 260 or more self-employment PRSI contributions paid. It will be paid for 6 months for people with fewer than 260 self–employment PRSI contributions paid (same as current Jobseeker’s Benefit scheme).

More fairness in our Welfare System for those who create jobs 

The Virgin Group will no longer ask job candidates about their exam results. It comes about as Branson who suffers from Dyslexia acknowledged how Dyslexia affects around 1 in 10 people&#39;s ability to learn and process information, and therefore negatively affects their exam results and employment potential. &lt;ad&gt;Sir Richard Branson who started a charity called &quot;Made By Dyslexia&quot; said it&#39;s not just employers that will be forced to change, but schools too, &quot;If everybody didn&#39;t ask for exam results I think schools would be different places&quot; said Branson at a recent event.
There is also evidence that other companies will soon follow the Virgin Group. A report by Ernst and Young (EY) on Monday said that increased automation in the workplace will open up more roles for people with dyslexia. “New jobs will be created that match closely to the skills of dyslexic thinking”, the ‘Value Of Dyslexia’ report noted.&lt;ad&gt;Branson credits dyslexia with giving him the imagination to become an entrepreneur and start the Virgin Group, which now employs over 70,000 in businesses ranging from gyms to space tourism.One of the skills of “dyslexic thinking” is entrepreneurism. Charles Schwab, Ted Turner, Sir James Dyson and the late Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad are among the other dyslexic billionaire entrepreneurs.&lt;ad&gt;Thousands of others have started businesses after being turned down by employers due to poor exam results.

Its enduing presence makes the viewing of the show an annual event in most Irish homes. The show began as a half-hour slot at the end of ‘The Late Late Show’, designed to give parents an idea of what toys were in the shops for Christmas while their children were supposed to be asleep in bed. It soon became a one-night show in its own right, complete with children toy-testers and performers.&lt;ad&gt;‘The Late Late Show’ was first presented by Gay Byrne. Pat Kenny replaced Gay Byrne as presenter in 1999 and remained in that position for 10 years. Ryan Tubridy took over in 2009.The reach of the show is incomparable. For the last 5 years of the show close to three quarters of the available viewing audience have tuned in. It is a prime example of how TV can bring people together and create strong cultural and emotional ties between people. The reactions that the show triggers on social media is also astonishing-for example during last year’s programme there was just under 75,000 tweets sent during the show using the hastag #latelatetoyshow.&lt;ad&gt;The most interesting stat is that even with media fragmentation and huge changes in viewing behaviour (over the past 5 years in particular), the number of individuals watching increased by 40% between 2006 and 2016.&lt;ad&gt; <a href="https://www.rte.ie/tv/audience-participation/2019/1010/1082302-the-late-late-toy-show-audience-ticket-applications/">CLICK HERE TO APPLY NOW </a>

McDonald&#39;s job seekers can now &quot;apply&quot; through Alexa and Google VoiceWant a job at McDonald&#39;s? Just ask your smartphone. McDonald&#39;s are inviting job seekers to start an application by using voice commands with Amazon&#39;s Alexa or Google&#39;s Assistant. &lt;ad&gt;If users say, &quot;Alexa, help me get a job at McDonald&#39;s,&quot; Alexa will ask which country they want to work in and play McDonald&#39;s &quot;I&#39;m lovin&#39; it&quot; jingle. After that, users can share their phone number and get a link to continue the application process. Alexa also shares some facts about working for the company, such as how it can lead to jobs in other fields.The function, dubbed &quot;Apply Thru,&quot; is available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. McDonald&#39;s is also exploring adding the feature in other markets. It&#39;s not yet available through Apple&#39;s Siri.&lt;ad&gt;The move is an unusual one. While some job recruitment companies have built voice-recognition systems on Google&#39;s and Amazon&#39;s platforms, both companies say McDonald&#39;s is the first direct employer to use its platform in this way. McDonald&#39;s developed the technology itself.For McDonald&#39;s, voice-initiated hiring is a way to stand out in a tight job market. The U.S. unemployment rate of 3.7% is near a 50-year low. Unemployment is also below 4% in the U.K. and Germany.McDonald&#39;s employs 2 million people at 38,000 restaurants worldwide, and its needs change quickly based on turnover and seasonal demands. Over the summer, the Chicago-based company said it was hiring 250,000 people in the U.S. alone, for instance. McDonald&#39;s is currently seeking 338 part-time crew workers in the New York area and 414 in Toronto, according to company hiring sites.&lt;ad&gt;Applications by voice are also part of a broader effort to use technology to streamline every part of the restaurant, said David Fairhurst, McDonald&#39;s executive vice president and chief people officer. For customers, that means digital ordering kiosks and mobile ordering. For employees, it means online scheduling and virtual reality games to train store managers.Source; https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mcdonalds-enlists-alexa-and-google-to-help-with-its-hiring/

Your dog can get paid hundreds to travel the UK as a ‘Furrfluencer’ 
We share your love for dogs
In the UK, dogs are our beloved furry friends and at Snaptrip, we feel exactly the same. 
However, despite having over 36,000 dog-friendly cottages on our site, we’ve never thought about reviewing these holiday lets from the perspective of our furry friends. So, we decided to launch a potential new initiative – Furrfluencers.

We’re looking for two dogs with exquisite taste and an eye for detail, to travel with their owners to our dog-friendly properties in locations like Cornwall, Wales and the Lake District. Once they arrive, we’d like them to review them in terms of how suitable they are for dogs.

Our chosen Furrfluencer’s will visit ten of our properties over 12 months, all expenses paid, making sure to enjoy everything the property and local area has to offer, so that a detailed review can follow, complete with fantastic photography. (Obviously this review will be written up by each pup’s human counterpart.)

Not only will our chosen pups get to travel the UK and stay in some amazing properties free of charge, but we’re also offering a £300 per review salary! 

Each review must be a minimum of 500 words long and must judge properties on the following criteria: dog enjoyment, dog practicality, access to local walks and dog-friendly establishments like pubs and garden spaces. Once the review is submitted to us, we’ll upload it to our blog, in the hope it will act as a benchmark for dog-friendly properties on our site, and help customers pick a holiday rental that fits their own and their furry friend’s needs. 

Entry Criteria
<ul><li>Must be comfortable travelling 
</li><li>Must be either 6 months to 3 years old or 4 years to 10 years old
</li><li>Must be in good health 
</li><li>Must be comfortable in front of the camera and photogenic
</li><li>Must have an eye for detail and impeccable taste
</li></ul>Does this sound like one for you and your pooch? Does this sound like one for you and your pooch? Complete this short submission form to enter <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2UCWQ9cH2KjPGnGeLSrrj7K_6PL32oUupDr5vw7zEAKX-8A/viewform?embedded=true">HERE.</a>

You and your dog can get paid to review pet-friendly vacation cottages

The owner of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin has decided to press ahead with plans to expand its capacity and build a visitor centre at its distillery in Leitrim in spite of uncertainty created by the potential for a no-deal Brexit at the end of October.Pat Rigney, founder of the Shed Distillery in Leitrim, said this will result in the addition of 25 new jobs and an investment of about €2 million.“We are working our way around Brexit, which is a challenge for everybody in our sector and has caused a lot of uncertainty,” he said, adding that the company was shipping extra supply to a number of continental European markets as a contingency measure against a hard Brexit.“But we continue to double down on the visitor experience and we’re well advanced with that. It’s a big commitment by us to Drumshanbo and we’re also increasing our capacity.“The challenge [of Brexit] for us is to be more resourceful and to work even harder, open new markets and all that.”Britain accounts for between 15 and 20 per cent of Drumshanbo’s gin sales, according to Mr Rigney, while most of its product for continental Europe goes across the UK landbridge.<h4>Finland deal</h4>“We’d also be concerned about the domestic market as UK tourists aren’t coming here in the same numbers,” he added.The distillery has just secured its 50th overseas market by signing a deal in Finland with State-owned Alko, which will see Drumshanbo gin being made available in a wide range of shops there. “This is the only way to see your brand in Finland,” Mr Rigney said.This is a significant breakthrough for the company given that Finland’s off-licence market is controlled by the state. Sweden and Norway operate similar regimes and Mr Rigney hopes to now crack those markets.The Leitrim distillery is hoping to increase its revenues to between €7 million and €8 million, up from €6 million previously.“We are on track. It’s step by step growth but we need to sleep with one eye open ... and we need to be aware that there’s a lot of uncertainty out there. We never expected it to be all plain sailing.”Launched in 2016, some 600,000 bottles of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin were sold last year, up from about 350,000 in 2017. It was voted best gin at the prestigious 2019 Flaviar Spirit Awards in New York earlier this year.Source: <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/business/agribusiness-and-food/drumshanbo-gin-expansion-going-ahead-despite-brexit-uncertainty-1.4028093">The Irish Times</a><h2></h2>
