Employment income affects your payment from us. To make sure we’re paying you the right amount, we need you to report your and your partner’s gross employment income, even if it’s zero.
To make sure you get paid on time, you must submit your report by 5 pm local time on your reporting date. Read more about employment income reporting.
There may be other tasks or activities you need to do to keep getting your payment. This depends on the payment you get. Read more about mutual obligation requirements.
