Decision Makers Guide - DMG32001

The assessment period: Introduction


The decision maker decides a person's normal weekly earnings from self-employment from the earnings in the assessment period. In most cases the assessment period should be one of the periods in DMG32051 1. or 2.. But if that period produces an amount which might not represent normal weekly earnings, the decision maker should select another assessment period (DMG32051 3. and 32101) which would provide a more accurate amount.

Note Special rules apply where a person has been in self-employment for less than
1) ) seven complete months in WFTC cases (DMG32151) and
2) 26 weeks in DPTC cases (DMG32201).
