Working during the first 3 months on OW
If you earn any money from work during the first 3 months you’re on OW, OW reduces the amount of money they give you.
They reduce it by the same amount as your take-home pay.
Take-home pay means the money that’s left after your employer takes off things like taxes. It’s usually the amount that goes into your bank account from your paycheque.
Take-home pay is also called net earnings.
For example, you get $623 a month from OW and one month you earn $100 from work. OW will reduce the money they give you by $100. So you will get $523.
| $623 | usual amount from OW |
| – $100 | take-home pay |
