Those who worked less than six full months may be eligible for a partial grant under certain conditions if they performed work defined as preferred jobA job in a workplace listed in required job, on condition that it is not suitable work for the person thereby employed..
This must be a full-time job, as defined in your particular branch of occupation, in general 8 working hours per day.
