New Job

Hi all


When should I tell my receiver that I have a new job after being unemployed. Do I wait until I start or give him my start date?

Regards

    I believe you have 21 days to notify your OR of any changes to your financial situation. I guess you could wait until your first pay so that you have the correct figures for your SOA. Congratulations on your new job.

    Yes, up to 21 days after your first pay day, before that you won't be able to tell them how much your income has increased by.
