What counts as qualifying remunerative work


If payment is notional then it is not counted as qualifying remunerative work.

Statutory Maternity leave, Paternity Leave, Adoption Leave and Statutory Sick Pay are all counted as remunerative work.

People who are not regarded as doing remunerative work are:
  • Students
  • Student nurses
  • People who work as volunteers for a charity or voluntary sector organisation
  • Carers who are only rewarded under the ‘Rent a Room’ scheme
  • Trainees on schemes that only pay them an allowance or expenses
  • People on the Intensive Activity Period for JSA or the Intensive Activity period 25+, unless any payment received is chargeable to income tax as the profits of a trade, profession or vocation
  • People in receipt of a sports award and no other income
  • People participating in an employment zone programme who are only in receipt of a discretionary payment.
