I believe you have to be working and earn a minimum per week to qualify for the free hours but as the above poster said I would call HMRC as they will know for sure and can give you the correct advice x
@Yasmin you do. But it’s one pay day I’ll be missing I’m hoping and I’m already going too be so short on money that I need that funding to be able to work the following month 😭 I feel so trapped
I’m pretty sure the minimum amount is averaged out so if on average over the period you are earning at least that per week you’ll be fine
I would just phone HMRC, it might take a little while to get through as they’re very busy with questions about the new funding, but I’ve spoken to them several times and they’ve been really helpful.
