The question: Is there an overall resource which gives a simple guide to what can be earned when on benefits, covering all benefits?
Background: We're doing some work to try and build a picture of what people can earn when on benefits. Its seems very complex and we are getting different advice from different people. It seems to me to be a minefield! My company aims to pay everyone, for any contribution they make, for example attending / contributing to a workshop, teaching and facilitating workshops. I want to pay the proper rate for the job but it's very difficult to understand the rules and for people not to be penalized when they mention they did a small amount of paid work. Even if this is well documented, declared and clearly shown to have stopped, the default seems to be to stop people's benefits without checking.
There's a guide to PW in the ESA section, the only change since it was published is that the Higher Earning Limit is now up to £115.50 a week, after tax and national insurance deductions.
