Conditionality Threshold
A client who is part of a couple where husband looks after 2 year old has been told she has to work 51 hours per week - 35 for her conditionality plus 16 for her husband’s in order to have no work requirements. My understanding would be that she would have to work 35 hours x NMW to have no work requirements and husband would have only to comply with work preparation requirements?
[ Edited: 11 Jun 2018 at 08:38 am by unhindered by talent ]I think both answers are sort of correct: she could exempt the pair of them from conditionality by earning 51x NMW on her own, but if she earns between 35 and 51 x NMW she will only be exempt personally and he would still face the limited conditionality that the carer of a two-year-old has.
Ah, I see. Many thanks
