Only income that is directly lost or reduced because you stopped active work in your trade, business, profession, or vocation during your leave period can be claimed. Income that continues regardless of whether you are working is not claimable.

The following income components are not claimable:

• Interest income earned on fixed deposits

• Rental income

• Profit on sales of fixed assets

• Overriding and renewal commission

• Ex-gratia income

• Director's fees

Why are director's fees not claimable?

Director's fees are not claimable because they are not considered part of the gross rate of pay under both the Child Development Co-Savings Act and the Employment Act.
