Term time worker

Poormum

Hi, I’m asking on behalf of my mum. She is an IT manager working in a school. She is paid only for term times as this is when she works. But her salary is split evenly over the 12 months so is still paid monthly. when she is working in term she works set full time hours.

I’ve done a UC calculator that says she is entitled to a small monthly amount which may help as she’s in her own.. the calculator doesn’t account for term time working. Does anyone know whether she would still be entitled or if this would change whether she is entitled to anything?

If is based on what she is paid each month. If she is paid the same every month then the UC will be the same every month too.

Simplistically UC is based purely on income received in the month. The number of hours worked or when they were worked is not relevant.
