If you regularly are paid over your basic wage then it is likely they will take this into account. However if it is just on the odd occasion or as and when required then they should use your basic wage.

Just take in your wageslip each month you get it if it changes and they will adjust it accordingly, dont worry a few bigger payslips in the year will not mean you loose benefit for the rest of the year.

Take in your wage slip and pop a note in at the same time stating that your wages were higher this month but will return to normal on x date, so that they know, then follow that up with your lower pay slip. They'll take the higher wages on their own and adjust when your wages return to normal.
