Universal Credit - no wage recorded

[lij8793]

If no pay is recorded within your assessment period (due to different pay dates each month) how do they calculate your UC payment?

I've tried looking online but cannot see any confirmation of that scenario, only what happens if you get 2 pays in one period!

Thanks in advance.

If no pay is reported by your employer in your assessment period then there will be no deductions from your total Uc amount. However you may then get 2 paydays fall in the next assessment period which would mean double deductions and depending on your total Uc, could wipe out any award altogether. If earnings have been wrongly reported by your employer then you can ask UC to re-assign them to the correct date- this is called raising an RTI dispute I think.
