:'''NOTE:''' Workers whose weekly income amounts tend to fluctuate (e.g. trade workers) should try to estimate as carefully as possible when providing an income figure. Those claimants who either err on the side of caution by declaring an amount that is too high or those who under-declare their actual income may be deemed by the Commission as providing “false or misleading information” and may incur penalties. The best way to avoid penalties is to always inform the Commission of the exact amount as soon as it is known to be correct. Also, an appeal should be filed immediately if a claimant is penalized for an inaccurate estimate of weekly earnings. The test for a penalty is that the claimant knew that the information he or she was giving was false. Honest attempts to predict actual earnings should not lead to penalties, even when it results in an overpayment of benefits. | :'''NOTE:''' Workers whose weekly income amounts tend to fluctuate (e.g. trade workers) should try to estimate as carefully as possible when providing an income figure.
