Oh, well, that’s something.
I don’t know if you knew, but the UK government operates something called Tax Credits: a scheme designed to top up people’s earnings.
Technically?
You can only put in for them, under certain conditions.
You’ll get Child Tax credits if you have children. Best I can do, there is a nephew with a trombone.
But working tax credits? Get complicated.
Basically, you can only put in for them if you’re working over thirty hours.
Over the past few weeks?
I’ve managed to go over that thirty hour limit, by working an extra shift.
That’s no guarantee I’d keep getting those extra shifts, and stay over the limit.
One thin I did manage to do, last night?
Was have a word with my immediate supervisor.
By default, I do twenty-nine hours, and forty-five minutes,
Looks like I’ll be able to get an extra hour, on Sunday afternoon …
