Definition

For the purposes of the FTB Part B return to work measure, passive employment income means:

• paid leave (such as paid maternity leave),
• a payment of compensation or a payment of insurance in respect of the individual's inability to earn, derive or receive income from paid work during the period, or
• if the individual stops paid work as a self-employed individual - income that is derived by the individual in respect of the period from an interest, or from investments, held in connection with the individual's previous self-employment.

The definition of passive employment income is intended to identify other forms of work-related income that may be received by an applicant despite the individual having stopped paid work.
