What income will be counted for a client starting a new job at Linens 'n' Things based on the provided hourly wage?

When calculating the income for a client starting a new job based on their hourly wage, it is important to consider the total expected earnings over a specific period, often calculated on a weekly basis.

If the correct answer is $340.00, this likely comes from multiplying the hourly wage by the number of hours worked in a week. Typically, a full-time job is based on a standard workweek of 40 hours. Therefore, if the hourly wage being used is, for example, $8.50, then the weekly earnings would be calculated as follows:

Hourly Wage × Hours Worked per Week = Weekly Earnings

$8.50 × 40 hours = $340.00

This amount reflects a consistent income that can be anticipated based on the agreed number of working hours. Understanding how to compute this total helps in determining overall eligibility for various services and supports, since agencies often require precise income figures to make accurate assessments.
