These Regulations provide for a reduction, from 6 to 4 weeks, in the period over which a person's income comprising earnings from employment as an employee is assessed in the case of Family Income Supplement for the purpose of calculating the weekly family income.

Under existing provisions, people participating in a Social Employment Scheme are not regarded as being in remunerative full-time employment for Family Income Supplement purposes. These Regulations make similar provision for people participating in Community Employment, which incorporates the former Social Employment scheme.
