Does the work experience mean that the employer does not have to pay me and that the social welfare pay-related benefit is supposed to cover the work experience of me working in some particular sector or job for some particular employer where the pay does not match the experience that I have, the skill set or the job that I am doing? If I refuse to do that job or engage with that work experience because it is exploitative, or because I am being requested to work 40 hours a week in a highly skilled job that matches my skill set but I am only going to receive the pay-related benefit, will I lose my pay-related benefit?
