Contribution week

Leaflet Sections


Note

The contribution year runs from 1 January to 31 December.

A contribution week (which in practice is the same as an income tax week) is each successive period of seven days starting on 1 January each year. So week 1 is the period from 1 to 7 January inclusive; week 2 is the period from 8 to 14 January inclusive and so on.

If 1 January falls on a Wednesday, the contribution weeks and weeks of insurable employment for that year will continue to begin on a Wednesday and finish on the following Tuesday.

Note

1 January falls in 2005 on Saturday, Sunday in 2006, Monday in 2007.

 

Note

When the employee's working week spans two contribution weeks, you should record two weeks of insurable employment.
