1 | Nil payment due to an IMP
Polly ceased work on 1 February and was paid 30 days annual leave for a total amount of $4,100.00 received on the same day. Polly is claiming JobSeeker Payment (JSP) on 2 February, and the IMP calculates to be $136.67 per day for 30 days. - This means that Polly will not be entitled to any JSP for the first 30 days, plus any other applicable waiting periods. i.e. Ordinary Waiting Period (OWP)
- As the IMP is longer than 2 weeks, Polly may not want to be referred to an employment services provider and is not subject to mutual obligation requirements until after Polly's IMP is served

2 | Part payment due to IMP
Molly ceased work on 3 March and was paid 30 days annual leave for a total of $2,100.00 received on the same day. Molly is claiming JSP on 4 March, is subject to an OWP of one week. The IMP calculates to be $70.00 per day for 30 days. - This means that Molly will still be entitled to a part payment of JSP for the first 30 days of their entitlement
- As Molly is on a reduced rate of payment, they will need to be referred to an employment services provider who will need to negotiate a Job Plan. If Molly is already meeting her requirements through an approved activity, Centrelink will need to negotiate a Job Plan with Molly
