Can you get sanctioned for not attending an interview for a job found through the Work Programme?

 

Back in November, I applied for a vacancy advertised through G4S (my work programme provider)...on Monday of this week, I received an invitation for an interview for said job on Tuesday (today).

 

I imeadiately rang the company to advise that I had only just recieved the invite (letter appeared to have been round the world and opened a few times!), and that I already had an existing hospital appointment and could the time be rearranged.....company agreed to try and rearrange and would phone me back.....meanwhile I sucessfully rearranged my hospital appointment to earlier in the day where I hoped I would be able to attend and then head off straight for interview...

 

Unfortunately things didnt work out that way......hospital appointment started at 9am, and I finally left at 2.30pm....completely missed my interview :(

 

Imeadiately rang company, who were very understanding, and begged for a re arranged interview.....sadly that not possible.

 

Now I am worried sick that I will be sanctioned for not adhering to the Work Programme.

Will G4S check up with the company and then inform the job centre, or will the company themselves notify G4S/Jobcentre?

Hi,

 

Try not to let your mind race ahead on this one (easier said than done I know).

 

It's better to be proactive, and notify G4S and the Jobcentre yourself.

 

I wouldn't hang about. Just call both of them, and follow it up with a letter (signed for).

 

At least then, you've done everything you can.

 

You'll probably get a 'warning', before a sanction.

 

Someone with more experience of G4S may be along soon.

 

All the best.

If you inform G4S and the Jobcentre yourself, then this worry will disappear.

 

Everything will be out in the open, and no one can say that you didn't inform them.

 

:)
