Could anyone check below scenes ? Will appreciate a lot !!!
SCENE 1- UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT
A; I was wondering if I can apply for unemployment benefits.
B; Did you get laid off?
A; At the moment I still have a job but there will be cuts and I’ll probably get fired.
B; You can be fired or your working hours can be cut
A; I need money for a mortgage and I can’t afford to work part-time.
B; Then I suggest you to find a better job now as unemployment benefits are not enough for a mortgage instalment
A; What if I work part-time, will I have a chance to get an unemployment benefit?
B; You have to go to the appropriate office and you will find out.
A; Are you sure that this is determined by the office? In my opinion, the employer sends documents.
B; You have to find out, maybe some of your friends are already qualified for unemployment benefits.
A; I need to check in on the website.
B; I’m wondering, how much is unemployment benefit now?
A; I heard that the amount of benefit depends on earnings.
SCENE 2 - FORMS TO FILL OUT
A; What forms should I fill out to get unemployment benefit?
B; You need to fill out the special sheet for unemployed people.
A; Where do I get the application form for unemployment benefit?
B; You can call the employment development office and ask about the forms.
A; What kind of information do I have to prepare to fill out this form?
B; You'll have to provide the name of the employer and the company name
B; Oh and of course you will have to prove the date of employment .
A; What else is needed for an employment development office?
B; You have to prove that the employment documents are true.
A; I was given a notice.
B; That is good, this is an important document for us.
A; What will happen later, after completing the form?
B; Employment development office will call you for an interview.
A; I see and then ?
B; After checking your education and experience, we will examine our job offers. If you are lucky, you will get a job soon.
A; You know, I’m an educated person. I speak two languages and I studied economics abroad. I was very happy with my current job. Unfortunately there is a big crisis in my field. I was working in a crewing agency. Lots of ships are laid up now and many people lost their jobs recently.
B; I don’t think we have any offers in crewing agencies. Anyway, as you said, you are an educated woman. Don’t worry. You will find a job soon. Meanwhile please fill out those forms which I advised you. Please take those forms for your first meeting.
A; How will I know the date of my first appointment ?
B; Procedure is like this, after getting those forms, by the way you shall send them by a register mail or bring them personally, we will study your case. After that you will be informed by mail about your first appointment.
A; During this meeting I’ll be also qualified for a benefit right?
B; Yes, that’s right.
A; All right then. All clear I guess. Thanks for explaining me this.
B; You are welcome. See you then!
A; See you!
SCENE 3 - THERE HAS BEEN NO PAYMENT
A; Hello, my name is Nina Webster, I’m calling to ask, why I didn’t get unemployment benefit this month?
B; Good morning. Please repeat your name.
A; Nina Webster, Dereham, Scarning rensway 28.
B; Did you send “Continued Claim” form for the last period?
A; Oh, I think I forgot.
B; You have to follow a designated time and send the form every three weeks if you want to get paid.
A; Can I send now in an electronic form?
B; Unfortunately not, please send it by the post office or come to our Job Centre.
A; If I post it tomorrow morning, it will not be too late?
B; I'm afraid that your due date is today, so in this case come personally or send by mail today, please
A; If I bring a completed form, will I get money still today?
B; Of course, but please remember to come today
A; I'll do what I can.
B; If you do not have time today, tomorrow you will have to register again and wait for your first pay check three weeks.
A; I see, so I’ll definitely come today.
B; Okay, but please remember that today is Friday and the office is open to midday only
A; Does it mean that I have only 15 minutes?
B; Exactly, have a nice day and good luck!
A; Goodbye, you could’ve told me this at the beginning of our conversation, I’ll be definitely too late, as I'm still in pyjamas!
SCENE 4 - REDUCED PAYMENT
A; Good morning, I would like to ask about my unemployment benefit
B; Hello I will try to answer all your questions.
B; How can I help you?
A; The last payment from the state was 20% lower than the previous week. Why?
B; Did you had any job in the last few weeks?
A; Yes I earned a few cents during recent weeks.
B; Did you report about this in the last continued claim form?
A; Yes, of course, I put that income in the last continued claim form.
B; We reduced the unemployment allowance for an income that you reached recently.
A; Maybe I should not have put this income?
B; But that would be cheating and when you are caught, you will not get any unemployment benefit
A; I don’t understand one thing. That’s strange, as last time I did exactly the same. I earned the same amount of money, but I got the whole benefit. Can you explain me why ?
B; Let me check…. Yes, that’s right. I can see that. In this case, I must recalculate your claim one more time. Apparently there is a mistake in the amount of benefit. As for now I’m not sure if now it is calculated properly or maybe earlier. Let me revert to you tomorrow. Can I get your phone number please?
A; You have all my details in the application form. Please kindly check.
B; Yes, you are right. I’ll examine this case more carefully.
A; I’ll appreciate. Thank you for your time.
B; You’re welcome. I’ll try to revert tomorrow.
PLEASE! Please correct my mistakes- URGENT !!!
