Example of employment during the stand-down
The following calculations are based on the initial stand-down periods as at 3 February 2016.
Example
A single client has applied for Emergency Benefit:
Average weekly income period | 26 Weeks | 52 Weeks |
Entitlement date | 12/04/2016 | 12/04/2016 |
Average weekly wage | $1,152.00 | $1,170.00 |
Assessed stand-down | 2 weeks | 2 weeks |
Commencement date | 26/04/2016 | 26/04/2016 |
The calculation provides the single client with the maximum 2 week stand-down period for both 26 and 52 weeks therefore the commencement date is 26/04/2016.

Employment during stand-down
The single client had a temporary job for 2 weeks from 14/04/2016 until 28/04/2016. The client earned a total of $1,200 (before tax) during this period:
Average weekly income period | 26 Weeks | 52 Weeks |
New entitlement date | 29/04/2016 | 29/04/2016 |
New average weekly wage | $1,024.00 | $1,048.00 |
Reassessed stand-down | 1 week | 2 weeks |
New commencement date | 06/05/2016 | 13/05/2016 |
The calculation that provides the single client with the lesser stand-down period is 26 weeks and has been reassessed as one week. The new commencement date will be 08/05/2016.
