So I've recently got a new job. It's a zero hour contract and I've opted for weekends only ( as my partner works full time and my last recent job just killed us in childcare so decided we'd try our best to not go down the childcare route again ) - anyhow so I could be working 0-24 hours a weekend. I know you've got 4 weeks to contact them so possibly once I've worked out an average of my hours - risky as suffered over & under payments before. But that's fine I'm not concerned, but I have staff training in September 8-5 and it's paid.. I don't understand what I do regarding that do I declare it ? Do it leave it as not a average. Don't want to feel like a cheat/sccammy persob and we only get a small amount of tax credits anyways but we're saving for a mortgage so counting every penny really! I just don't want it to badly effect us??
