Example of employment during the stand-down
The following calculations are based on the initial stand-down periods as at 2 November 2016.
Example
A single young person has applied for the Young Parent Payment:
Average weekly income period | 26 Weeks | 52 Weeks |
Entitlement date | 14/11/2016 | 14/11/2016 |
Average weekly wage | $1030.00 | $1050.00 |
Assessed stand-down | 2 weeks | 2 weeks |
Commencement date | 28/02/2014 | 28/11/2016 |
The calculation provides the young person with the maximum 2 week stand-down period for both 26 and 52 weeks therefore the commencement date is 28/11/2016.

Employment during stand-down
The young person had a temporary full-time job for 2 weeks from 14/11/2016 until 28/11/2016. The young person earned a total of $868 (before tax) during this period:

New entitlement date | 14/11/2016 | 14/11/2016 |
