What is a work test declaration?
To meet the work test, you must be gainfully employed for at least 40 hours during a consecutive 30-day period in the financial year in which the contributions are made.
Gainfully employed means employed or self-employed for gain or reward in any business, trade, profession, vocation, calling, occupation or employment.
If you do unpaid work or only receive passive income, such as interest, dividends, trust distributions or rent, you do not meet the definition of gainfully employed.
