Ms Teresa Leonard:

The PUP calculated arrears week works from a Friday morning to a Thursday evening. It is anybody who is part of the PUP in that week from this Friday coming until 3 December. Anybody who has had any day that they are not working in that period and only signs off to go back to work any day in the week will still get their PUP, provided they sign off that they are going back to work. If ones sign off to go back to work on Monday, 30 November, one will still get one's PUP because one is actually on the scheme in the week ending on 3 December. PUP is paid by weeks, not by days.
