91.—(1) Earnings derived from employment as an employed earner and income which does not consist of earnings are to be taken into account over a period determined in accordance with the following provisions of this regulation and at a weekly amount determined in accordance with regulation 94 (calculation of weekly amount of income).
(2) Subject to the following provisions of this regulation, the period over which a payment is to be taken into account is to be—
(a)where the payment is monthly, a period equal to the number of weeks from the date on which the payment is treated as paid to the date immediately before the date on which the next monthly payment would have been so treated as paid whether or not the next monthly payment is actually paid;
(b)where the payment is in respect of a period which is not monthly, a period equal to the length of the period for which payment is made;
(c)in any other case, a period equal to such number of weeks as is equal to the number obtained (and any fraction is to be treated as a corresponding fraction of a week) by dividing—
(i)the net earnings; or
(ii)in the case of income which does not consist of earnings, the amount of that income less any amount paid by way of tax on that income which is disregarded under paragraph 1 of Schedule 8 (income other than earnings to be disregarded),
by the amount of an [F1employment and support] allowance which would be payable had the payment not been made plus an amount equal to the total of the sums which would fall to be disregarded from that payment under Schedule 7 (earnings to be disregarded) or, as the case may be, any paragraph of Schedule 8 other than paragraph 1 of that Schedule, as is appropriate in the claimant's case,
and that period is to begin on the date on which the payment is treated as paid under regulation 93 (date on which income is treated as paid).
(3) The period over which a Career Development Loan, which is paid pursuant to section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973 F2, is to be taken into account is the period of education and training intended to be supported by that loan.
(4) Where grant income as defined in Chapter 10 of this Part has been paid to a claimant who ceases to be a full-time student before the end of the period in respect of which that income is payable and, as a consequence, the whole or part of that income falls to be repaid by that claimant, that income is to be taken into account over the period beginning on the date on which that income is treated as paid under regulation 93 (date on which income is treated as paid) and ending—
(a)on the date on which repayment is made in full;
(b)where the grant is paid in instalments, on the day before the next instalment would have been paid had the claimant remained a full-time student; or
(c)on the last date of the academic term or vacation during which that claimant ceased to be a full-time student,
whichever is the earlier.
(5) Where, but for this paragraph—
(a)earnings not of the same kind are derived from the same source; and
(b)the periods in respect of which those earnings would fall to be taken into account overlap, wholly or partly,
those earnings are to be taken into account over a period equal to the aggregate length of those periods and that period is to begin with the earliest date on which any part of those earnings would otherwise be treated as paid under regulation 93.
(6) In a case to which paragraph (5) applies, earnings under regulation 95 (earnings of employed earners) are to be taken into account in the following order of priority—
(a)earnings normally derived from the employment;
(b)any payment to which paragraph (1)(b) or (c) of that regulation applies;
(c)any payment to which paragraph (1)(j) of that regulation applies;
(d)any payment to which paragraph (1)(d) of that regulation applies.
(7) Where earnings to which regulation 95(1)(b) to (d) applies are paid in respect of part of a day, those earnings are to be taken into account over a period equal to a day.
(8) Any earnings to which regulation 95(1)(j) applies which are paid in respect of, or on the termination of, part-time employment, are to be taken into account over a period equal to one week.
(9) In this regulation “part-time employment” means, if the claimant were entitled to income support, employment in which the claimant is not to be treated as engaged in remunerative work under regulation 5 or 6(1) and (4) of the Income Support Regulations (persons treated, or not treated, as engaged in remunerative work);
(10) For the purposes of this regulation the claimant's earnings and income which does not consist of earnings are to be calculated in accordance with Chapters 3 and 6 respectively of this Part.
