Example of employment during the stand-down
The following calculations are based on the initial stand-down periods as at 1 February 2017.
Example
A single client has applied for the Jobseeker Support Student Hardship:
Average weekly income period | 26 Weeks | 52 Weeks |
Entitlement date | 13/02/2017 | 13/02/2017 |
Average weekly wage | $1,049.71 | $1,049.72 |
Assessed stand-down | 2 weeks | 2 weeks |
Commencement date | 27/02/2017 | 27/02/2017 |
The calculation provides the client with the maximum 2 week stand-down period for both 26 and 52 weeks, therefore the commencement date is 27/02/2017.
