WHEN RECEIVED ATTRIBUTABLE TO EMPLOYEE'S OWN CONTRIBUTION? TYPE OF INCOME More than 6 full calendar months after stopping work N/A Unearned Income Within 6 full calendar months after stopping work No Wages Within 6 full calendar months after stopping work Yes Unearned Income 61.2.1.1. Worker’s Contribution When sick pay is alleged within 6 full calendar months after stopping work, it must be determined whether or not the employee contributed by payroll deduction toward a sick pay plan by reviewing the pay slips or contact with the employer. Any sick payment, or portion thereof, received by an employee during the first 6 full calendar months after stopping work, which, according to the employer, are attributable to the employee's own contribution, is not wages. Example: John is still within 6 months of stopping work and receives sick pay of $400 per month. John's employer advises that 40% of sick pay is attributable to John's own contribution. John should be charged with $240 earned income ($400 x 60%) and $160 unearned income ($400 x 40%).
