Working and Reporting IncomeYou must report all of your hours worked and gross earnings eachtime you request payment. Work is any kind of service for pay,including, but not limited to full-time, part-time, reduced hours,temporary, contract, casual or day labor, side jobs, commission-only,tips, paid training/orientation, and self-employment. There are no exceptions. Unreportedand underreported earnings may be considered fraud. Unreported earnings causeoverpayments that you must repay. See page 14.Report your total gross earnings in the week you earned them, not when you are paid.The workweek for reporting begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. You must report: ■ Your total number of hours worked each week. Include your hours and grossearnings for all your work. ■ Total gross earnings before deductions, not “take-home” pay. ■ Earnings in whole dollars. For example, if you earned $100.75, report $100 anddrop the 75 cents. ■ Your net profit, which is the amount above your expenses, if you are selfemployed. You must report hours worked each week, even if you have no netprofit.Not yet paid?If your employer has not yet paid you, calculate your gross earnings by multiplying thenumber of hours you worked by your hourly pay, and report that amount to TWC whenrequesting payment.
