<p>The Government is working with employers to ensure that they use the most appropriate
payment practices and comply with Real Time Information guidelines in order to minimise
the incidence of erroneous or late reporting by employers, and HMRC have recently
updated guidance to reiterate to employers the importance of reporting accurate dates
and the impact on payment cycles.</p><p>We have produced guidance to help ensure claimants,
staff and representatives are aware of how different earnings patterns can affect
their Universal Credit award. This can be accessed at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-different-earning-patterns-and-your-payments/universal-credit-different-earning-patterns-and-your-payments-payment-cycles"

claimants can always discuss the implications of this with their case managers and
work coaches and can be referred to Personal Budgeting Support to help them manage
their budgeting.</p><p> </p>
