If you are changing the main employment, go to Step 2.

If you are adding an additional job, go to Step 5.

Step 2

For any job the customer has left, you always need the

  • end date

  • name of the employer.

If the new main employment is employed. you also need the

  • reference number (if available)

  • payroll number (if available)

  • name

  • address

  • number of hours worked in total before the change

  • number of hours worked in total after the change

  • go to Step 3.

If the new main employment is self-employed, you also need the

  • Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number (if available)

  • number of hours worked in total before the change

  • number of hours worked in total after the change

  • go to Step 3.

Step 3

If the customer is now in receipt of benefits, go to Step 4.

If the customer isn’t in receipt of benefits, return to the guidance you were following.

Step 4

Where the customer is now in receipt of Income support (IS), income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or Pension Credit you’ll need

  • the type of benefit (which one of the above)

  • the start date of benefit.

Note: You must obtain confirmation from the customer that their JSA is either income-based or contributions-based or their ESA is income-related or contributions-based.

Note: The customer can only be considered as being in receipt of JSA or ESA when it is income-based or income-related.

Note: Contributions-based JSA or ESA mustn’t be recorded as JSA or ESA income on the computer as this will lead to overpayments for customers once the computer is amended.

Note: Contributions-based JSA and ESA should only be taken into account as part of Social Security Benefits income.

Note: If JSA or ESA is contributions-based you must record these details within Household Notes.
