Calculation of normal weekly earnings: More than one type of employment


If a person has more than one business, the decision maker should calculate separately the normal weekly earnings from each business. If earnings are calculated separately, note that
1) the method of calculation depends on which category each type of self-employment falls into (DMG33102)
2) the decision maker may have to calculate a person's total earnings by applying two or more different methods, for example if a person is

2.1) self-employed as a sole trader in one business and
2.2) a partner in another

3) the decision maker must also be aware that the assessment period to be used may vary with the type of business
4) in cases under 3. the decision maker may have to use different periods, for example

4.1) 6 complete months (WFTC) and 26 weeks (DPTC) for one business and
4.2) the period of the profit and loss account for another.
