Employment during stand-down

Where a client has temporary employment during the initial stand-down period and their income is at a disqualifying rate, this may change the date the benefit can start from. The new entitlement date is the date the temporary employment stops. Reassess the client's initial stand-down using the income for the 26 and 52 weeks earned immediately before the new entitlement date.

Where a client has temporary employment during the initial stand-down period, and their level of income (when charged against the benefit) allows for a part payment of benefit, there is no need to re-assess the client's initial stand-down. For more information see:
