Article 23 Work availability requirement
In this Part a “work availability requirement” is a requirement that a claimant be available for work.
For the purposes of this Article “available for work” means able and willing immediately to take up paid work (or more paid work or better-paid work).
Regulations may impose limitations on a work availability requirement by reference to the work to which it relates; and the Department may in any particular case specify further such limitations on such a requirement.
A limitation under paragraph (3) may in particular be by reference to—
work of a particular nature,
work with a particular level of remuneration,
work in particular locations, or
work available for a certain number of hours per week or at particular times,
and may be indefinite or for a particular period.
Regulations may for the purposes of paragraph (2) define what is meant by a person being able and willing immediately to take up work.
