What the JobCentre actually said:

Reliability is important to employers, as it is for Jobcentre Plus - and we welcome ads seeking reliable applicants.

?The advert in question went live on the Jobcentre Plus website when the employer placed it and in Jobcentres via Jobpoints, worded exactly as the employer requested.?

ie - the story is a load of old bollocks.
